I've heard some racers who dip their bearings on wd40. Is this ok?

How did everyone do today? I had an excellent race day. tqed and won in gas and electric. It was a small turnout at a track that is just getting up and going, but, none the less, still fun. Warpspeed Demon was super dialed in very loose conditions (old low traction asphault). I have a killer setup for loose conditions. Let me know if you want it posted.

When we came out with the DEMON, we were thinking about putting in the nitro suspension, maybe sometime in the near future. If there are alot of requests.

bearing shields
If you are trying to free up the car, take the seals out of your bearings, blow out all the grease with brake clean, put a few drops of zx-1 (distributed by Schumacher USA) and only reinstall the seals that are exposed to the outside. I buy cheap bearings, blow out the grease, lube them with zx-1, and leave the seals out. I just replace my bearings once every 4 or 5 race days. You can find 3/16x3/8 bearings for around 2.00 each. If you only run your car on a groomed racetrack, you wont believe how long they will last. I only have to replace the bearings in the hubs (mainly the fronts from hitting pipes). I am still running the kit bearings on the outdrives and the input shafts.
