This guide is for anyone looking to get the most out of their FTX Apache Brushless Trophy Truck. The Apache offers high-performance fun right out of the box, thanks to its brushless motor and included battery. However, like any RC car, it requires some initial setup and regular maintenance to keep it running smoothly.

The battery life depends on driving style and terrain. Expect around 15-20 minutes of runtime with the included battery, but this can vary.
The Apache includes a charger designed specifically for the included LiPo battery.
You can use other LiPo batteries, but they must have the same voltage and physical dimensions to fit in the battery tray.
Use compressed air or a soft brush to remove loose dirt. Avoid using water directly on the electronics. Wipe down the body with a damp cloth.
Warranty information can be found in the product documentation.
Spare parts are available from most hobby stores that carry FTX products or online retailers.
Consult the manual, but generally, tighten the slipper clutch until the wheels don't slip under acceleration, then back it off slightly.
Store the LiPo battery at approximately 3.8V per cell when not in use for extended periods. Charge before each use.
Check the battery connection, ensure the battery is charged, and verify the power switch is in the on position.
Check the batteries in the transmitter, ensure the car and transmitter are bound, and verify the antenna is correctly positioned.
Inspect the drivetrain for any stripped gears or broken components. Check the slipper clutch for proper adjustment.
Check the steering servo connections, ensure the servo saver is properly adjusted, and check for any obstructions in the steering linkage.
Ensure the battery is fully charged, and consider switching to a lower power consumption driving style. Also, check for damaged battery.
