My revo was sat for 12mnths before I got it I've ran it for around an hour and a half max since having it.

Now I'm thinking oils need replacing and anything else but I don't know this side yet I haven't needed to use oils before I have done the shocks there oil was sludge at best. And ofcouse I've used air filter and after run oil.

Should I trust these Hong Kong bearings

I have a foc I might fit next month so I should replace the bearings whilst its open

Depends what you mean by "service" if I was running it competitively, I would change the shock oils and diff oils every couple of months, but when just bashing, as needed really. It's always worth checking your bearings during a strip down and change any that are sloppy, a collapsed bearing in the centre transition for example can make a real mess to the cases, gears and other bearings.

Thank you the revo is atleast 2yrs old and was stored for nearly a year so I thought a full service would be both good for the truck and good for me to get to grips with it more I did the shock oils.

What diff oil should I get I'm never gonna race it competitive so long lasting parts are my needs not performance
