Hey guys still kinda new to rc. Getting ready to change my diff oils in my Losi 8. When yall change the oils do you just dump out & refill or do you clean the case & gears. If so what do you use to clean them with. Ive been told to use brake cleaner. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I just turn mine over and then work on another area of the car for a while. I then use a rag or paper towel to get any excess but not all of the time do I do that. If the oil is dirty and "thick" and not coming out I would just use an old rag and wipe everything down. That is how I do it.

I soak all the metal parts in NAPTHA to clean them before inspecting the parts.

I hate to sound ignorant but what is NAPTHA?

It is a cleaning solvent used in automotive, motorcycle and small engine repair shops. I buy it at the local hardware store.

Also I misspelled the name. The correct spelling is NAPHTHA.
