Using this model is quite straightforward. Just make sure it's on a proper track, and it should run well as it has a good - running motor. When handling, be careful around the A unit's nose as there's slight foam damage. For maintenance, regularly check the wheels for excessive wear. You can clean the wheels gently to reduce the moderate plating wear. If you notice the motor and gearbox noise getting louder than the current rating of 4 out of 10, it might be a good idea to have it checked. Keep it stored in the provided original boxes with the replacement foam inserts to protect it from damage.
