AFTER USE
1. When you have finished using your Mad Shark, you should first switch ‘OFF’ the model (disconnect
the 11.1V LiPo), then switch ‘OFF’ your transmitter.
2. Remove all batteries from the transmitter and model.
3. Leave Mad Shark ’s upper deck off to allow moisture to evaporate. Ideally, place the model in this
way in a warm and dry place, like an airing cupboard, until you are sure it is dry and then store it away.
4. Remove the rubber ring from the slot of hull, so as to keep the rubber ring flexible for water proof
effective in next time boat racing.

In this case, you should immediately return to shore, remove the upper deck and drain the
water from the hull.

Lubricate Here
5
Lubricating the flexshaft is vital to the life of the drivetrain. The lubricant
also acts as a water seal, keeping water from entering the hull through
the stuffing tube. Lubricating the flexshaft, propeller shaft after every
2 or 3 times of operation.
1. Use the 2mm Allen key to loose the two grub screws of the coupler
which connects the flexshaft, then slide the flexshaft w/ prop shaft
out of the stuffing tube.
2. Lubricate the flexshaft w/ prop shaft with the water proof marine
grease, reinstall the flexshaft w/ prop shaft in reverse order, be
sure to retighten the two grub screws of coupler.
IMPORTANT - Mad Shark
The bearing in the water cooled motor mount must be regularly
lubricated with oil, grease or Vaseline petroleum jelly to prevent
corrosion through the ingress of water.
Insufficient lubrication may lead to the premature failure of the
bearing. Note: Image shows drive shaft removed for clarity - the
bearing can be lubricated with the drive shaft in situ.
