Let's see......
Some SIMPLE answers
---------------------------------
1- I would NOT recommend putting anything on the rear tires.
2- The gears do NOT need any additional grease (unless for some reason you have removed the original grease)
3-I have the IR booster BUT I really don't think it was worth the extra 20 bucks. I would put that money towards the Special controller.
When / Why should you do maintenance?
------------------------
Do you have a cat or dog? An animal that lives with you that sheds ALOT of hair? Do you every run your Digi Q on carpet?
STRINGS, synthetic or organic (hair) is really the only problem that may cause you to have to clean your digi q.
If you do NOT have a pet or run on carpet, cleaning should be done but not nearly as often!!!
(Remember the screw that holds your hole car together is metal threaded into plastic; so are the screws that hold your wheels on!!!----- they won't last forever!!! So don't take your car apart anymore than you have too.)
Maintenance -- Stuff You should Do
------------------------------------------
1- Clean hair out of axils
2- Clean hair out that may be on the gear shafts
Cleaning hair OUT OF AXILES
---------------------------------
1- get the proper size allen head wrench and take off all four wheels. (I don't remember the size of the allen wrench off hand)
2- take a hobby knife or tweezers and remove all hair that my be on the back side of the wheels, on the axils, or on the screws.
(Please note, when removing the screw of the rear wheels, two gears will become loose and will fall out of the car. Don't worry, during re-assembly put them back in their little pocket before attaching the rear wheels.)
Cleaning hair OUT OF THE GEAR SHAFTS
--------------------------------------------------
3- Remove the Phillips (plus) head screw on the underside of the Digi Q.
4- The body should pull off (Watch the notches in the rear)
5- Inspect all gears and shafts for hair.
6- If hair is found, remove the gear first, even the one on the motor before removing the hair.
7- carefully re-assemble
