Default yokomo problems!!

anyone with a Yokomo Drift Spec-Car ever have their front dogbones start to rust?? mine are rusting at the front after 6 months of owning the car....could it be because i sprayed the car with cleaner? or because i just didnt properly lube it? or is it a manufacture defect?

I wasn't asking you minirc.

It might've been the cleaner you used. I've had my Yokomo DP for almost 2 years before I sold it and nothing's ever rusted.

I think that motor spray is mildly abrasive which may have lead to your rusting issue.
