CustomfibreR/C

Hello,
I was in Super Cheap the other day when I saw they had cans of spray degreaser for $2 each.

I was wondering if this would be suitable for cleaning of non plastic parts on an electric R/C car.

You know things like CVD's, Anodised alloy Bulkheads and other alloy parts...

Would the degreaser hurt the anodised finish??



thanx

if the spray leaves no residue it may be suitable...

Watch out for solvent based degreasers as they can cause rubber parts to swell and may even attack some paintwork and anodising. Personally I'd stick to Metho as you can effectively use it anywhere with no damage and it will dry itself.

use serpent cleaning gum on plastic and alloy parts. it makes the plastic parts look brand new

i've left some bearings soaking overnight in some carby cleaner/degreaser mix and the rubber seals came of the metal sheilding. learn from my mistakes!

stick to metho and only use harsh chemicals on metals. not plastics, and rubber.

the anodising will deteriorate with just general exposure to light/sun/or even when using a brush to clean the car. i noticed my evo 3S isn't as bright red anymore. and i never used anything except a brush on it. heat also tends to make the anodising fade a bit.

to clean cvd's and alloy bits use warm water and detergent. dry the cvd's well then grease up again. (take the cvd's apart totaly!)

i use those $2 cans to clean metal parts. It works good, just spray on, leave for a min and hose off.
