umm, motor oil does not come off lol, i tried everything but it got in the caliper behind the pads so whenever i put the break on it squeezed some fresh oil around onto the disk lol, i ended up buying a new bike a few months later anyway but there were some scarry moment when i tryed top stop after doing some downhill when theres a creek not to far ahead.
and you cant hold the brakes on with an rc while driving [

There is something called brake cleaner, that would take of the motor oil, there was no need for a new bike.. but anyway..

and thats why i use carbon instead of metal
so with carbon you won't have this happen? not that I plan to run in wet grass all the time but you never know. with the power the mach has I would just like to know I have brakes. also it seems that you don't have a big adjustment window on the brakes a little one way and they drag little this way and there week and don't stop, any tips on that.
