      Sand is kryptonite for R/C cars. I never run mine anywhere near the beach for that reason. It's far worse than gravel or dirt. The only real way to get sand out of an R/C car is to strip the entire thing down to individual parts and wash them all thoroughly. If the sand has any salt in it, you may have to replace bearings as well.

  • @darylsullivan3447
    @darylsullivan3447 7 ปีที่แล้ว +78

    I personally DO NOT recommend WD-40. It is designed to remove oil, grease and rust. If used on the wheel bushings or bearings, it will break down oil (bushings) or grease (bearings) that will cause them to run bone dry, and cause damage. A lot of people think its a lubricant, but its not. If you use it, make sure you apply lubricate on whatever you use it on. I, personally, would like to think that Traxxas Support would know better than that. I've known for 30 years what WD-40 is.

    • @rizz0d
      @rizz0d 7 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      they're not using it to lubricate the bearings. the point here is to displace water away from the bearings so they won't rust and lock up.

      @gerryglauser2394 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, this is actually a major issue, as even a little water will unbalance the tire. And getting that water back out is a real problem unless you remove the tire from the wheel. Some people will leave those holes taped, because they often drive in damp areas, or want to reduce the tire ballooning.

  • @jeramiet154
    @jeramiet154 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I start with a hose down to soften any dried on dirt/debris. Let it sit a couple of minutes. Then hit it with higher pressure, from the tap not a pressure washer, just jet spray from the hose(avoiding fans/motor/reciever/gearbox seams for the most part). Wipe with hand while rinsing to remove anything that remains. Dry with compressed air(avoid spinning up the fans with air). Done. You don't need 20 brushes and cleaners and 3hrs. Just a few minutes and a garden hose and some air. I own an xmaxx with a max 5 esc and leopard 56110 950kv motor.

    Traxxas support, could I have some kind of advice on my problem? I have a Traxxas Slash 4x4, and every time I go out and drive it in the street, it gets extremely dirty because of the place I live in, all the grass, mud, small sticks and sand get trapped under the engine and other parts and it's very hard to clean it. I have to shower my car after every run for about 30 mins just to make it clean, because I think that driving a car that is so dirty will make its life shorter as all the dirt gets inside the mechanisms. I have my Slash for about a week and I'm already so tired of all this stuff, plus all the bolts are a bit rusty, even though I use WD-40 after every shower. Should I continue showering it like that or be less worried or anything else?

    • @TraxxasSupport
      @TraxxasSupport  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Sounds like you are doing well with the maintenance. Dry it thoroughly after using water to clean and wipe away any excess WD-40. Electric motor cleaner can be applied to the motor after every 10 runs or so. We would recommend replacing any rusted hardware. See the exploded views for your model:

    It being waterproof is pretty self explanatory just spray it with the hose throuoly, hit it with an air compressor throuoly. Some people will say oh your bearings this, gears that, your gonna rot your foams. To which I would say I put tape on the vent holes to keep water out, and when I say "hit it with an air compressor throuoly" I mean THROUOLY. Im pretty religious with my air compressor.

      Yes you can replace the original transmitter and receiver with the TQi radio system. For most 2-channel models (those with only steering and throttle) this is the system you would need:
