The reason some people do not like WD-40 to spray on the whole RC is because it will deteriorate rubber and certain plastics. I think it’s ok, but I prefer silicone spray. The one thing I would definitely not spray WD on is the tires, but that my preference. I agree 💯 % do what works for you I always believe in that theory. 👍🏼

Man that was the simplest how to set droop video I’ve seen on youtube thanks man👍

I got an Kraton V5, in November, and an Notorious V5 today and this is the first I ever heard of this droop business. I have watched over an hours worth of videos of people trying to explain it and how to set it up....(including some from well known companies) and yours is by far the best. Simple and to the point. I was nervous about doing it myself, but not anymore. I have been a traxxas guy for 20+ years and just starting moving into Arrma. Thanks for you video!!!

This is such a good explanation on maintaining your rc. Sure some of it was obvious but what is obvious to some might be a revelation to others

i don't use water but it's not a bad idea like you said if you use wd 40 . i prefer using my compressor and then wd40 . for a deep washing i disassemble all the parts and clean them one by one but it's very long ! nice vid !

I like your no nonsense approach to maintaining your Arrma 6s bashers, I also use WD-40 and see nothing but benefits. My bashing buddy is always replacing broke stuff because he doesn't use any lubricates a dondes not do his service per manual time frame. Thus he has replace gears, shocks, and differential's as w,ell as wheel bearings. I have only had to replace one wheel bearing in over 100 hours of bashing. I do go over the Arrma after every outing and do a quick check between batterys, double checking for loose fasteners and stabilizers. I will check for shock droop now as well thanks to your video. Great Job

I know a lil late to this one, but not sure if you've had the issue yet. If you've ever broken a wing mount screw in the suspension tower, what I did (besides upgrade to RPM and take the wing off if going to be in the air" is the bottom hex to the wing mount and the body post, I put a longer hex in it and put a secure thread bolt on it and have never had the problem again. And it's not easy to get a broken hex out of the tower. And I've had another wing bist to peices on it and the wing mount and hexes weren't even bent. I only put my wing on to mainly open field runs with little strghit air. Like I said not sure if you have done it yet. Probably have and I missed that video. And the Outcast/Notorious body mounts are the only ones you can do this to.

Great tips and tricks maintenance video brother. Good call on those HD rod ends been using them for the longest. The Mojave rod ends is another great option as well.

When you turn the servo on the 2WD Slash, the headlights light up.

Well that’s a great video thank you, and WD does stand for water displacement…

Isn't in wierd that jus a simple change of bearing can make if feal so new again. Even if your bearing aren't that old to begin with and taken care off. I know its because they're are new, but feels soooo nice.😁 🤜🤛

Solid information my friend! 👍🏻👍🏻

DAB of super glue on end of tread on stand offs , stops the bolt loosening up

Diamond intel inside right here 😎 some other folk would have split this into about 4 videos diggin your style🤓 Peace out B’🤗

The problem that most people mention when talking about WD-40, is that supposedly it removes grease. I think the people who are always saying this, are the very same people who think people who use WD-40, are literally shooting it inside of parts that have grease. They do not realize that most people who use WD-40 are just simply spray coating the parts lightly to prevent rust. BTW, not sure if you know, but there's a WD-40 Silicone version, that's better for RC cars.

Nice video brother. 👍 Great info for the new bee out there. 👍 😊

I take the wheels off to, and spray the car with cleaner and washing it. Dry it with compressor like you do, and finally I spray the hole car with wd40 and I let it dry again and then it’s ready for another bash session. I have about 25-30 bats through my K8 and it still looks brand new

Wd40 will dry rot all the rubber use a silicone base spray

Will this help prevent dog bone being thrown out? My Notorious throws the left dog bone after 5 minutes of playing in the yard. Very frustrating

Good stuff

Nice info - dont want to much droop 😂😂😂👍👍 prefer the RPM Traxxas short rod ends as you get 12 for £8 and they just as tough as the Arrma ones

Good video my man! Droop is important...👍...

Great video! Very informative!

What is the part# for the HD rod ends you use on the Kraton V4? Are they the same as this 1? Great video. Great info. And I agree with you on the cleaners. Those seem to be the best.

Bro you don't take out the electronics the motor and esc ??

Great stuff 👌🏽 new to the hobby and didn’t know about shock droop 👍🏽 do you still grease bearings after or just wd40?

great video did not know about shock droop keep them coning will that be a good thing to do to my 4s kraton thanks again

Nice vid

I've been using dry silicone spray.

I dont understand. I have an Arrma Kraton 6s v5 and supposedly where these droop screws are mine is like the bottom of a screw....its a threaded bolt. How are you using a hex to adjust when there is no hex opening on mine. Now if i turn my truck upside down where the chassis plate is then i can see the hex head of the screw....could my droop screws be installed upside down or something?

Hey brother I don't mean to be a bad news bear but the purple power has got caustic soda in the ingredients it does not play well on metals or electronics in that fact it don't play well on rubber eitherBut I do like the video I'm starting to get into the hobby I'm watching videos for pointers

I have noticed som shocks are inside and some ar outside what is the deffrencemine are on the inside

Do you think the bearings are needed for just driving on the street and grass?

What happens if the you're generous with the droop and your shocks are more compressed?

Do you have a tool kit with that screwdriver you used it with? I'm having trouble finding long small screwdrivers like that for my rc stuff mainly my outcast.

Cool thx

would the droop also let the bone come out of the drive cup as well?

&, on any new rtr, SATURATE the front & rear ends with wd40 a day before driving! Wd40 adds flexibility TO plastic! I use wd40 to EVERY rtr I buy. Especially if a arms, etc aren't available yet. (I've been doing the wd40 for 35+ years!)

Stop the ESC fan from spinning when you hit it with the air. You're forcing the fan to spin at way higher RPM than the bearing it has is rated for and will kill it significantly faster. Also WD40 is a solvent (it has a lubricant in it so it can penetrate deeper and dissolve dirt and grease) and should not be used for lubrication.

I use PB blaster silicone on my but I remove the electronic 😂😂🤦‍♂️

2nd 😂
