Granite Looking for knowledge.

[MrT]

New to RC. Got Granite Mega V3. So much to learn and understand re maintenance and possible future upgrades. What are the best sources of basic maintenance/upgrade info that I could read/watch (apart from the manual) Don't feel like I want to bug you guys with the most basic of questions non stop. I would like to know more about basic maintenance, oils and lube, drive trains, electronics, suspension ..... basically everything! Top resource suggestions please!!
Thank you

IMO, Razor RC on Youtube is among the best source of info for what you are looking for.

He has excellent tutorials on the 3S line shock rebuild (same as the Mega), how to disassemble the power module, setting the servo travel endpoints. It will be helpful for you.

@razorrc has some good vids on the 3s series on his youtube channel. Most of what's there can be applied to the mega versions. Heres a link to the 3s playlist:

@jondilly1974 has a good video that is often referenced here for a simple how to for setting your slipper clutch:

And as far as reading goes the search button in the forum menu is your friend.

One of the best things to do is just tear the truck down after a few runs for a good cleaning. It really helps you learn about the truck and know all the ins and outs. Don't be scared to get in there. You won't break anything and it'll always go back together. I tear all my RC' down about every 8-10 packs for a good cleaning and once over. It's one of my favorite parts of the hobby.
