New Arrma Infraction any pre-maiden run advice?

[ArrmaAssault]

I have just received my new 1/8 Infraction 3s blx. Any advice before I run it for the first time?

Check all your screws.
Check all diffs and shocks for the proper amounts of fluids.
Check your mesh in all 3 diffs, shim if needed and the motor/spur mesh.
Check your camber/castor/toe.

Or, if you enjoy FAFO like me, plug a battery in and go play.

Thinking too much before playing with a toy will get you in trouble.

Maiden runs can be unpredictable. Everyone's different but here's a few things I bring to my running site. Good luck and hope this helps!

Yep of course, have fun but honestly it's a blx and has warranty so have fun with it.

Wont hurt to check that everything is tight.

Enjoy it and take your time to listen to it and get a feel for how it runs and sounds... Helps to know what is normal and not normal. Never hurts to spot-check all the screws.

Enjoy!

Hammers at least 20 yrs older.

The hammer is the original power tool..

Getting my Infraction 3S BLX (black and gold) delivered today, anxiously awaiting for that UPS truck. Apart from eyeballing the fasteners and checking that the rims don't fall off I'm connecting a LiPo and driving this baby!

As a follow up the UPS delivered and a few quick checks revealed ever so slightly loose grub scews holding the ends of the rear sway bar - 2mm wrench via hand found it. The rest of the fasteners I found to be set very snug - wich was good oevrall. A few test runs and all went great. This thing is a mini riot! I did make life easier and bend the body clips about 60 degrees near ythe loops ends so now it's so much easier to insert and pull on. Love this 3S BLX Infraction!
