Hi All,
First post, and first RC I've had since 1996 when I was young. Back then I knew how to drive and knew basic stuff (tyres, suspension, gears, crystals, trim, bearing cleaning etc). Had an RC10 graphite. But best presume my knowledge is next to zero for RC's since it was nearly 30 years ago.
My dad had a Ansmann Terrier 2.0 in a box from ~10 years ago never used. I am building it up. I've found very little detail on this brand online (Except they build batteries), and the manual doesn't appear to have specifics like other brands, so suspect it is a bit of and off brand, and I'd have preferred electric and its nitro...but its already purchased, so will use it if I can, or maybe I'll build it and swap for an electric.
My questions are around the diff. The front and rear diffs came prebuilt.
The manual does not indicate that it needs any oil or grease inside the diff. It does indicate grease on the seal.
Manual can be found here and is on page 3.
Is it possible that is actually by design? Just doesn't seem right to me to have no lube in there?
Do I need to split it open and add oil or grease? It does feel a little notchy and slightly noisy, but I've never touched one before, so don't know what to expect.
As a side note of interest to some: Dad still has his RC10 gold tub, so plans to do that up as well I think.
Cheers
Chris
