Indoors clay with little to no dust…..once a week.

Outdoors dirt in the wet……2-3 times during the day……after practice…..after qualifying and after clean up.

It really only takes 2-3 minutes to do all 6 joints with a bit of cleaner, compressed air and black grease (or motorcycle dry lubricant) !

Added bonus is you get much less wear and slop in the joints and it lets the suspension cycle smoother

Maintenance is key to a well performing buggy
