Lets first ask, how mechanical are you? Beginner/Intermediate/AdvancedDo I really need to grease my bearings and oil and shim the diffs? I am on 6s power. I have never owned a rc car before.
+!You don't HAVE to....
But you need to.....
If you don't get the proper amount of oil in the diffs (a lot of times they are shipped with to little) you can cause premature wear. Same for shimming. It'll run without doing it, but if the tolerances are very far off you will once again cause premature wear.
If the task seams scary there are lots of great folks that will help you out on here. No need to worry.

Whether beginner or not. What level of aptitude, etc.Lets first ask, how mechanical are you? Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced
You haven't a clue how to teach then, it does matter what level they are. How you instruct someone is solely dependent on their level of knowledge in the field. This blanket statement could be said to you by a mathematician and he then gives you a problem you haven't a clue how to solve.Whether beginner or not. What level of aptitude, etc.
Wrenching is not optional!
Need to jump in and get your feet wet. Or this hobby is not for you.
Baby steps of course.
Just, there are no short cuts, IMHO.

You can just say, "shim your diffs" "service all your diff fluids". But if they don't even know what a diff is then you haven't helped them at all. Which is usually what you do
He quoted me and said I was wrong and im not lol. The word "diff" was an example not actual as the OP used the word Diff in his first sentence.@SrC giving the proper steps was sound advice. If they don't know what a diff is a very quick "how to shim my diff" search will provide further instructions and understanding.
Multiple people stated if any questions arise just ask. No need to spell it out 100% from the get go and assume they know absolutely nothing.

So what?
My response was to SrC not the OP, my original message was for the OP.
np haha, i just know a lot of people that buy and don't want to know or learn how to repair. It's super common on a local level.I'm sorry, I didn't read it that way.
We all have a common goal, let's get there together shall we?

Also.... @SrC I've rarely seen somebody advise to do figure 8's and lightly break in a diff before shimming. That is an awesome piece of advice.
To shim a brand new diff then break it in doesn't get you anywhere but out of spec again in short order.
