after using my xmod for a while i take the shell off, and find loads of dust and stuff up inside the steering and the gears also in the space between the wheels and the knuckles, why is this? is it static off somthing or the air going up under neath the car

is there any way of stoppingf this?

im almost sure that its the static build up just from running the car... not really sure that there is a way to stop it... just make sure you regularly clean the chassis... i tend to clean it every set of batteries i put in it... or after im done running my car... if you figure a way to stop the build-up let us all know...

Using liquid lubricants (WD-40, silicon spray, etc) will help collect dust. I find the easiest way to keep things clean is to clean the surface you'll be running on before hand. A quick run with a swiffer helps. Sometimes you just have to disassemble things and give it a good cleaning.

the worst is when you get strands of hair wraped round the driveshaft and clumps of dust sticking to the grease.

the instructions that come with the awd say dont grease the gears if you plan on using your xmod outside, because of grit and dirt getting in there. its just as bad indoors.
