For maintenance, keep it in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the paint from fading. You can use a soft brush to clean the dust off the car and its components periodically. If you notice any loose parts, use appropriate glue to fix them. Also, check the wheels and couplers regularly to make sure they are in good working condition.
