Ooooh!

That's nice, not quite as clean as i left it though:eh?:

I've a feelin' that there may be a few more people make the jump to the dark side, where nitro runs through the veins of the dark underloard:wtf:

S**T all those fumes have gone to my head...

How it came off of the track Jim. I did think you might have cleaned it while I was marshalling! :D How you ever let such a dirty thing in your car is beyond me. :o

You'll have one next.

Thats actually really nice....would hate to get that dirty :p

jimmy 11-12-2006 12:55 PM

yeah that does look too nice to get dirty. bet its a mess now :D

I remember when chris lee got his mp777 sp, it was so tasty.

you'd be amazed at how easy they are to keep clean, take engine/pipe and servo's out, 1 jet wash and some gt85 20 minutes and its all sparkly again. oh and change wheel bearing every couple of months

jimmy 11-12-2006 02:07 PM

Yeah that is pretty much what I did to my truggy after its first race in terrible muddy conditions
- jetwash (remember not to jetwash my vinyl stickers OFF the wing next time) and then wd40 all over the car - then a low pressure hosing off the excess wd40.
done!

looked like new.

That the stuff?
So you jet wash and spray that stuff all over it? or wd40 better?

jimmy 11-12-2006 02:19 PM

I would have thought it would be pretty much the same. I use the wd40 to displace all the water, it also makes all the parts look like they just stepped out of a salon.....
lol

Southwell 11-12-2006 02:25 PM

Cool, do you relube the bearings with royal oil too? I don't want it to rust if im selling it....

losixxx 11-12-2006 02:31 PM

i use sewing machine oil, found gt85 better, wd40 can be a bit smelly and greasy

Southwell 11-12-2006 02:37 PM

Cool, i bought some anyway it's cheap. And a nice suprise was £30 in my paypal i forgot about!

jimmy 11-12-2006 02:42 PM

wd40 can be, if there are any areas of wd40 where it looks a bit wet I just towel it down.

might try the gt stuff if it comes off dryer tho.

I dont relube my bearings
