Pre/Post Race Inspection

[Br00kie]

Hi

Just interested to know if other racers carry out inspections of their RC car before and after a race. Personally I always give mine a once over before and after especially if I have crashed. saves me breaking down because I missed a broken bit. I always strip my car clean, lubricate and inspect the parts for wear etc between meetings.

What do you do with yours ?

Thanks

Steve

After most meetings mine gets stripped down bearings blown through and diff rebuilt/gearbox checked after every 3 meetings,I am now going to do a complete nut and bolt check after every race after a front wheel come off the other night,couple drops of oil either end of the motor every now and again,I even wash the wheels and tyres after a meeting!!!

Have I got OCD?

My pre-race checklist:

4 wheels? Check!
Does something when you wiggle the steering? Check!
Makes some noise when you give it throttle? Check!

OK - Lets GO!

Lol, spot on the more you look the more you find, the more you find the more it costs!!

I used to be a bit OCD with my cars but since changing to Kyosho I've got much less so ... so damn reliable it's almost an insult to open the gearboxes.

General clean down re oil shocks every couple of meets check everything is tight nothing special really
