From what I've heard, WD-40 is just Kerosene and Parafin wax. If this is true, then it's probably the Kerosene that's softening up the rubber - as most organic solvents are apt to do.

So what happened to your warranty? Or take it back to the hobby shop where you bought it. If they're any good, they'd replace it if bought within 10 days or so.
