Use creamy peanut butter in your diff.

[WhoKnowsWho]

Bearings, clean and lube if they aren't the teflon or rubber sealed type. Those type don't need as much maintenance. Shock rebuilds when the shock sounds rough/squishy/or otherwise not normal. Motor, clean, replace brushes, true comm, oil bearings or bushings. Clean all parts, clean hinge pins every now and again. Make sure ball ends are tight or replace. Rebuild diff and tranny, replace balls and diff rings. That's all I can think of while I am at work.

Clean it after every run.
Make sure the screws, nuts and bolts are tight.
Check the electronic equipment for damage and function.
Look for damage throuhout the entire car.
Thread lock any metal to metal screws.
Clean the motor with motor spray.
And there are other things I'm sure but it is 0235 hrs (central time) and my mind has gone to bed. :D

Chunky peanut butter workes more like a limited slip! Make sure it is Squirrel brand, ya know, the one with the peanut on top! :D
