Hello all!!
I just got back into RC and picked up a nice used SC10 4x4 off ebay for what IMO was a pretty good deal. Just wondering a few things about the car and the setup it came with. Now keep in mind besides a little oval Spec car racing 20 years ago my only other RC experience is back from the square box Futaba Steering Wheel remotes with the throttle lever on the side
So all this new RC tech has given me a bit of a learning curve to get caught up on.
Car has the following parts, radio and accessories that were included.

Got the above in very good shape for $350 delivered. Okay now for the questions.
What will I need to do maintenance? I am thinking shock fluids and diff fluids to start for having on hand. How often do you check your diff fluid levels and do you change out parts when you strip them down every time?
How long can I expect for run times from the batteries/motor above given normal fast and slower mixed running speeds? I don't want to go to far on the lipo bats and ruin them.
Is this a good motor for this setup?
Any other straight up got to have parts or maintenance items I need to get? I have a full acre front yard to run in and a track I might go check out for racing about 10 minutes away. Not ready for racing yet (don't want to go yet and get addicted!!) so just looking for everyday user info.
Thanks for any input I am sure I will have a lot of other questions coming.
