b44.1 rusty

[Lonsdale]

i have only had my b44.1 last then 6 months and already notice that the drive shafts and screws are going rusty?
i wouldnt of minded but i keep my car in tip top condition and store it in my warm bedroom.

does any one know if you can buy alloy drive shafts

The only time I've had that has been when I've not had chance to clean the car after a wet meeting, but it's only surface rust and cleans straight off. Is the room humid at all?

When I clean my cars I give them a brush down with a brush that has wd40 or any other maintenance spray on it, if they is too much on I have another 'clean' brush with no spray on to take off the excess.

This seems to leave a thin layer on the parts and protects them from cosmetic rust you are seeing. It also makes other parts shiny!

I'm not sure on the ally driveshafts , I'm not sure if they would stand the power these days.

Mip may do some shiny ones tho, check DMS as they bring them into the uk

What tracks do you run them on? Indoors or outdoors?
