Well, I broke my tank...not with lube, not with anything but my own supidity.
Thankfully, my wonderful wife let me buy another one to replace the busted one (she knows that toys make a happy husband
)
I was trying to clean out the drive wheel by pulling out the drive axel. This went okay, but when I tried to push it back in, I ripped a tooth off of the axel gear because the gear wasn't lined up right. I didn't want to pull the darn thing apart...oh well, lazyness got me. Now I've got a tank that will turn in one direction...oh well.
Got my new tank today, used some grease that came with my HPI Nitro RS4 Racer 2 to lube the gears, and it had the same effect as the WD40, just less mess. I very much reccomend using nitro grease to lube the gears.
Anyone got a broken tank they want to sell to me for parts??
Maybe someday I'll get my hands on one of those dinky little plastic gears...
