    DJ - Thanks for all of your great videos! I've only recently gotten into RC's to enjoy some bonding time with my 9-year old grandson. I have spent many fun and informative hours listening to great RUclips presentations by you, Squirrel, Jang, Vladsly, Shawnroy and many others. Thanks to each of you for taking some of your valuable "play time" to share your knowledge with the rest of us!
    My grandson and I now have six trucks (2 crawlers, three bashers and a Summit that often pretends to be one of the others). He works right along with me preparing, maintaining and cleaning the trucks. We did not buy a single one of them new. We shopped carefully, then spent some of the saved money on reliable upgrades. I want my grandson to learn responsible fun. So far, he is very open to it. I recently taught him to solder safely and effectively and he picked it up really well. I am proud of him! We actually look forward to the maintenance time together, and then we get to go out and run our trucks! How great is that!
    Thanks to you and the many others who have taken the time to teach me new ways to make our trucks run better and last longer.

    So funny that in the first minute of this video you say "unless this video is a year old" and I have followed you for at least 3 years. Got my crawler crazy muddy this evening and needed to know what I needed to do to protect it for the future. Well... For me this video is 9 years old now AND still super fu**ing helpful.
    You are a legend my friend. As a Canadian I love how far you have come with your channels. You have been a huge part of why I love this hobby so much!

    Great advice Arron, I just thought as I keep all my greases in the bulk (I live on the coast so use Marine Grease a lot) packs, I would add that a 25ml syringe available from most chemists filled with Marine grease makes a great miniature grease gun which is a lot easier to handle for doing inside the bearings once you carefully remove the seals and I also use Moly 60 Hi Pressure grease on the the gears in the gear box and diff's, hope this helps

  • @rchobbiest350
    @rchobbiest350 12 лет назад

    Hey something I tried for an addition to this vid, was instead of covering the servo in grease, I used liquid electrical tape. I still used the grease for the gear , and I'm was still able to undo the screws. I also went one step further and took the circut board out and did a layer on that just incase any water got in.
    I know you prolly know this already just putting my two cents in.

    I keep our Marine grease out in the garage, but since we keep our trucks in the house I filled up a couple of un-used syringes that we got from our vet with the stuff so when I do the maintenance I have small portions of the grease inside. Also it’s very portable for when we decide to go & run w/trucks in wet conditions

    Hey medic, there is also a product I use for all my bearings, its a spray grease made by wurth., it is as thin as water so it gets past the seals, then the solvent evaporates and the grease is left. This grease is also waterproof and almost impossible to get off your hands.

  • @TINYNumismatics
    @TINYNumismatics 13 лет назад

    Best way I've found for servos is to plasti dip them then grease around where the horn goes.That way the only place you have to worry about cleaning the grease off of is one spot. No sticky servo.Plus you don't have to take your servo off the truck every time you need to put grease on.

And not to butt-in, thats what she said,..but Viewers, that whole bag of bearings Medic bought, it will only take about 1 1/2 hrs. to- pluck out one side of the bearing seals with an exacto, add some grease, 'not to much, causes drag x-20 plus bearings',clean the existing out IF u want with some wd40,press the seal back into the bearing with your fingers,done..and easy too. Did you ever try snow chains in mud Medic?.. Hmmmmm...

    I've found something that works even better than marine grease, and that is plumbing Valve and Stem Grease, it is water proof and heat proof, this stuff thrives in a water enviroment, and doesn't break down over time. I use it both in my diffs, and axels, works awsome in boat prop shafts, also it doesn't attract dirt easily

    I'm new to R.C. and I bought myself a slash for Christmas in 2016. I plan to try a clay track in town and wondering if Marine grease would be a good idea to coat around screw heads and drive shafts and everywhere dirt might get in like the outside of gear box where they join together?so all I would have to do is wipe the dusty grease off and then regrease, or would that cause too much drag and heat?. I have all purpose grease and a gun combo that was ment for my ball bearing mower wheels if that works also.

    Just an idea or better my opinion based on experience here in good old Germany,
    try LIQUI MOLY LM 47. Its actually made in Germany but it doesnt really matter, its used by many professionals in all kinds of professions and environments. Its ultra-thin molybdenum disulfide film is what you want. You can still top it with the Marine Grease frome the same company to make it fit for salt water encounters: LIQUI MOLY Marine Grease article number: 3509.
    Hope this will help or give some thougts how to prepare your rig for water...
