Aside from the fact that I knew WD40 isn’t a lubricating agent, I didn’t know it causes problems in the long run such as parts becoming tighter and it becomes a gummy-like substance. Wow. Thanks for pointing that little-known fact, the less experienced circles of RC-ers, that the “WD” in WD40. I was one of them who initially thought that WD40 is a lubricating agent. At the end of the day, people like Martellus enables this forum to be a good educating platform for uninformed and new guys. Thank you man for pointing out in that crystal clear explanation.
