Service and Tuning

[beck_h7]

Hie.
Just got my FC yesterday and was wondering about servicing and tuning it.
What are the important things that i should check and service?
Any recommendation of a workshop that gives good service?
For FC's are the shift naturally a little stiff or is it something faulty with mine?

Anyways enjoying the ride XD.

Cheers!

since you just bought it i'd take it to ahchoy's and change the following:

1. engine oil
2. transmission/lsd
3. water (use only distilled so bring your own approximately 8 liters)
4. oil filter
5. fuel filter

all the above will set you back about 500 but believe me this 500 will be well worth it in long run.

gear shift stiff is always related to gear box.... oil...

don't forget to change gear oil... make sure it's fully synthetic...and has the ability to withstand high heat.... FC FD... same... HOT stuff.

Thanks guys!
Its really hot stuff lol
can feel the hot air flowing out of the gear box.
The steering is a little heavy also the owner said to change the tyres from 225/50 to 215/50 do u guys think thats the problem?
After i change the oil's the next thing i should change the brake fluids and pads?
The hand brake feels lose also mayb its the pads or other things?

Cheers!
