e revo idk diff stuff
I power slid into a curb at full throttle on a 2s lipo and broke my rear end off. i took it apart and was a little curious. i already have the replacement parts on the way. im goin to pismo beach in 4 days, and after i get back im totally cleaning my car from front to back inside and out.
1st pic can i clean it out with? http://www.thetoyz.com/cart/thetoyz_...mp;action=find if so how? can i just put in a cup spray some of it on it then shake it around? can i use this for lube instead of the grease http://www.thetoyz.com/cart/thetoyz_...mp;action=find if no then what should i use?
2nd pic if i take out those three screws is that where the diff oil goes?
3rd pic is this okay?

1. No that wont work. I mean it will clean it a little, but the only way to really clean it is to disassemble it and wipe it down. The motor spray may help, but I don't think its necessary.. I just use dish soap and water in a bowl and just wipe it clean. And no, you cannot use that silicon spray, you need to use grease.
2. Yes
3. I cant see if that's 3,000wt or 30,000wt from the pic. If its 30,000 wt that's good, that's what it comes with stock. 3.000 wt will also work, but it will "diff out" easier. (diff out is when you lose traction with one tires and it spins up really fast and gets big, thicker diff oil makes this less likley) With as much power as this thing has on tap, I would definitely stay with 30,000wt. There is no reason to change it yet anyway, It should be good for at least a few months even if you drive it every day, and longer if you drive it less...

yes its 30,000wt srry for the bad pic. whats grease should i use? the only reason i plan on cleaning it is because when im go to pismo me and my friends are gonna be riding the quads in the dunes. a yfz 450, 2 suzuki z400. but when your riding hard and fast for about 45 min you get kinda tired lol. so ill probably be running all my batteries( 2 2s lipos and stock nimh) about twice a day in the dunes for about a week to two weeks and sand somehow finds its way into to stuff and it take its toll. so i was just gonna clean it when i come back better safe then sorry.
