RE: Tips and Tricks!
If its tear down for winter time, I do this every 3-4 races, except I dont do the engine tear down.:
Remove your radio tray, bearings, drives and cvd's, diffs, engine and pipe, and hinge pins. Soak the rest of the car in simple green. Rinse off with a hose. Spray down with WD.
Polish the hingpins with a cloth dremel wheel and polish.
Clean and lube or replace the bearings
Grease the cvd's
Regrease the output drives on the diffs. Refill diffs.
Plug the engine with those rubber plugs that often come with NR engines. Wash it by hand with Dawn and a toothbrush. Take it apart for inspection. Rub its guts down with RB afterrun oil (specificly RB ARO!)
And remember, Non-clorinated brake clean. The clorinated stuff melts plastic. Even the NC stuff hurts lexan so stay away from your body and radio. I use it sparingly.
