Bobby’s rr5 max pro

[misterleon]

First things first. Pam ain’t winning no beauty contests but she’s a naughty female dog it’s the exact clone of my w5, Bartolone 32, mod killswitch, mod clutch, hitec throttle servo spektrum steering no servo blah blah blah. She broke an a arm while battling for first on Sunday so she needs a bit of tlc. I have the front and center lsd coming from cardinal racing and expecting it to be a huge upgrade. Need to make some crud guards for the rear arms. The amount of dirt buildup here is no bueno.

I have a set, but I’m gonna use them so I need an extra extra set

So you got Pam and Jim

Cv guards, cup boots, shock shaft boots, new body clips tethers and two lsd diffs are in the mail. Do you guys have any suggestions on shock socks that are good?

I mean I don't run them but they would help keep stuff out of your shocks like small rocks that can get stuck in between the springs.

I use the fullforce socks. I really like the look but they rip easy. Prob have to change them 2-3 times a season.

Those look fancy

Check um out Sunday. Doubt you'll get a set in by then anyhow. I've never been a fan of the velcro socks. The only point that let's dirt in on the FF is that bottom notch in the losi spring retainer otherwise full protection. $20 a set so if you tare um bad ain't a biggie replacing.

If you do decide you wanna get them, I'm not sure if they make um for MCD but we can measure diameter of your springs and compare to my baja and losi set to see what would fit best.

Outerwears pm my losi and baja basher last a long long time

Not a huge fan of outerwears for shocks

Anywhooooooo. Got Pam douched down and baking in a light grease bath and while I was giving her a look down I found a broken camber link. Had her available at Bobby’s hobbies so I chucked a new one on. This is why I am a huge advocate of cleaning your rig after every run. I would have never found this if it had a layer of dirt on it. Now I just gotta clean the air filters and wait for parts. It’s gonna be tight getting her ready for Sunday’s points race but I’ll try my best

spray everything down with simple green. hose it down with water on a mist setting (it's important not to have a super-strong jet pushing water everywhere.) then dry everything off with an air compressor and spray the whole thing down with wd40 in a mist bottle. hit it with the compressor again making sure to open the electronics areas and hit that area with air as well. leave it in the sun for a few hours.

Yea I wanna try something else besides wd40 and simple green. The rig feels too greasy after. And I think the simple green is pulling too many oils out of the rubbers and plastics. Was thinking of using this stuff.

Try using simple green and just regular silicone spray (just pick some up somewhere) the silicone spray should dry and leave a drier surface that repels dirt instead of attracting like wd40

That's real environmentally safe for you.

Serious note, try it or the Citrol stuff
