Radio care

[NitroNewb]

My son has the Futba 3PM FASST radio and said the dial seemed to be sticking a bit. Is their any maintenance required or desired for these radios??

If you have the manual still there is a setting where you can change the steering tension on the wheel so that its not too easy to turn. Its usually a screw on the front or side of the transmitter near the wheel. If its not that then I'm lost, I can't imagine what else could be binding it up.

Nothing needs to be lubricated on these things? Or graphited?

Nope, no lube, but it wouldn't surprise me if there's some dust or dirt causing it. When these sit around at the track, there's always a lot of dirt floating by. It can't hurt to just pull the wheel and look around. A shot with an airhose is what I always gave mine after getting home. Part of the clean and maintain process for the RC.
