Mud getting into CVDs...
 
Hey!

Just wondering what you do to lubricate your CVDs.
Just got back from runnin ma buggy and noticed that the cvds were squeakin.

What do you use to lubricate? Oil? (attracts dust!) Graphite powder? WD-40?

Thanks for your comments!

How do you clean it in the first place?
I usually use 90% rubbing alcohol..
I just spray it all over (avoiding the radio/servos).

That gets rid of the grime and leavs a layer of "oil"..
Works well to protect against water.
