I really don't believe it is corrosive, and eats bearings. If anything, it may contribute to early bearing failure, due to washing away all the oil. WD-40 displaces moisture, this is true. But it also displaces oil.
And just because Traxxas recommends it, doesn't mean it's the right way. That is a company that I wouldn't trust to give the whole answer, or the right answer.(Just ask them how much oil is in their fuel)
I agree that WD40 isn’t corrosive I was just wondering what information 46u would come up with to support his statement. I really have no problem with anyone choosing not to use any product for any reason but when they make an assertion that it can damage “eat away ur bearings” I would like to see some proof.
Ummmm, that was nathan9492 that made the "eating the bearing" comment, not 46u. 46u usually has good info and personal experience or valid reasons/concerns to back up his comments.
