It's a floureon 4200mah that I charged up to 3.80 each cell so it must of been a week cell. I've also noticed mine don't hold there charge when I charge them the night before.

t2boats Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Seen as my Outback has seen a lot of action in mud and deep water I thought it's best to give it a good clean and change the shock oil. So, fresh 30wt oil added to all shocks, greased inside the axles, bearings out and cleaned in wd40, and a general check of all screws around it - all still tight. Ready for its next testing time!

stonedef Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Learnt a valuable lesson today. If bashing at a very wet, very muddy BMX track look whats the other side of big jumps. I went over one and couldn't see the truck land the other side, all I did see was the splash from the very big puddle that my truck landed in The truck ran for about another 5 mins and then stopped working. After that I decided to call it a day much to the disappointment of my son who was enjoying bashing his Bugsta in the mud. I have blown out as much water as I can, with the air gun, out of the electronics and they are now drying out in a bowl of rice. So time will tell if anything has died. But running the trucks in all that water and mud was probably the best 10 mins of rc I've ever had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stretch Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 (edited) Wd40 isn't a lubricant, you need to use light machine oil or similar after if you have to use it. Edited February 5, 2017 by stretch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stretch Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 Ah I was trying to point it out to t2boats. I use motor or brake cleaner to clean then use machine oil to lubricate. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
