[nitroRCs]

Hey guys, im wondering what you do to clean your bearings?

...At the moment i take the covers off and soak them in petrol, then i get some oil and put 3 drops in?...is this ok?...do i have to put and oil in them or do i just soak them in petrol and then use them?

Thankyou

I take the covers off, then wash them out in alchol and re-pack them with bearing lube.

I take the covers off and wash it with a bearingwasher. Then i get speed oil and put some (1-3) drope in.
Short version: WD-40

 

[Humma]

WD-40 IS SHIT FOR BEARINGS

NEVER USE IT

 

[nick_is_me1]

i used to just put them in petrol (Y)
havent had to clean my bearings for ages.

 

[Basil]

WD-40 IS SHIT FOR BEARINGS

NEVER USE IT

Why not??

 

[Humma]

It attracts shit.

Its a De-greaser.

Just soak it in:

Petrol/Methalated Spirits/Paint Thinner.

and then a few drops of 3 in 1 oil and boom pro bearings right there
