  1. I was thinking on getting some cleaning solution that can clean (and prevent) rust, or dirt from hard to clean parts like ball bearings etc. I've heard people using brake cleaner or WD-40 but I don't know how safe they're for plastics. Because I don't want to keep fully disassembling the car every time I do minor clean up just for one part or section. I saw this and wondering what the thing is and how effective it is as the description is pretty vague. This being Tamiya branded made me think it should be safe for plastics used in their RC, but then again I don't want something weak or less effective than other cleaning solution on the market. https://www.tamiya.com/english/products/87039/index.htm What's your thought about this? What do you guys used for maintenance? Do we need multiple specialized products or is there one-for-all magic solution for general purpose?
  2. Hi there, I took some days-off at a ski resort next week and I would like to know if there is any recommandations. Thats a first adventure for me, seems I must avoid aeras that has been salted. For cleaning job, no compressor at disposal only minimal stuff/tools. Just some clear water with a brush on every parts then WD40 on ball bearings ? Cars with solid axle seems the way to go ? Less maintenance, easiest job with minimal stuff ? I got a Blackfoot or my DT02 Memorial.
  3. Hey Guys, I ran into two maintenance issues. First off, I keep breaking my MST SP1 +3 wheels. I broke 3 wheels in winter, in a parking garage, which was probably due to the cold weather. But then, two more wheels snapped in hot weather. One broke after repeated small impacts while doing wallruns. Due to my own stupidity, basically. But one broke without any reasonable explanation. All of them snapped were the spoke connect to the hub thingy in the inside, even though they're quite beefy. (For MST wheels at least) Also, last week I started charging ne of my Yuki Brainergy LiPos, left the room, came back after a few minutes, and found the charger (robbe Power Peak Uni7) flashing it's LED. Pulled the Plug, opened the bag, LiPo is swollen. Polarity and and balancer were all connected properly. Then, I charged my other LiPo, and it took several hours longer than usually, Eventually, I just disconnected it, even though the charger wasn't finished with it. It wasn't hot or swollen or anything out of the ordinary, so I chucked it in the car, drove two really long sessions without the battery dying. Took it out, and Surprise! Swollen! The battery is mounted on a custom aluminum battery tray, which has flat screw heads protruding from it (about one milimeter, maybe 1.5). However, both batteries show no sign of damage were the screws are. The lower edges seem slightly scuffed, though. Seriously, what am I doing wrong? What's the dealß Bad plastic in the wheels? Broken charger? Bad luck? Please stop my descent into insanity, this is wrecking my nerves, as well as my bank balance.
