7 Ways You're Destroying Your R/C Car

“Don’t gear too high” *proceeds to gear 2wd brushed slash for 100+mph speeds

I've found personally the best way to maintain a RC, is to spot check it every so often and just make sure the car functions correctly and address issues as needed, and once a year, preferably during colder winter months when you don't run as much, completely rebuild the car from the ground up, so you can really see every last part of the car and if plastic parts are worn or pins are bent etc etc. As a basher I've found this works great for me. It's a fair bit of effort but you learn a lot about a RC rebuilding it, and it's half the fun.

One technique I've found for maintaining an rc, is to buy a new one. Although that solution isn't budget friendly.

i literally drive mine until the wheels come off!

50% of this hobby is playing with your truck, 50% is for maintaining it. I enjoy both aspects equally, luckily.

One man's/woman's trashed/bashed rc is another one's treasure... I love ebay lol

Not sure exactly why, but I like this guy, I like the delivery/personality. Works for me, I’m a fan.

Road salt is another bad one. Gotta be sure to rinse everything thoroughly after a snow bash.

This hobby needs more of these videos and needs to be reshared more. I think the next video needs to be about myths and facts of rc cars. I hear so much that its hard to know which to believe. Like one fact I do know is true is upgrading to metal parts isn't always the answer.

The comparison with bikes for maintenance is on point : both have components that have a limited life span, those parts require specific attention if you want your bike/rc car to perform their best for longer. Knowledge is key too, learning from others, knowing what to do and why, etc. the more you know the less you'll pay...

All great tips. I clean and maintenance my RC Cars after every run. I have RC’S that are 15 to 20 years old and look brand new. I still have a Kyosho Optima Mid SE since I was 16 years old and it still looks new. Thanks for the video.

Great video full of good advice. I've already destroyed parts in basically every way he described, so I know it's all true. Save money, listen to this guy 👍

Love these types of videos from Brett

That was nice and good info on how to maintain a good running and tuning your rc.... Thank you very much for sharing sir.

I take a high pressure air hose "120 psi" and blow everything off 👍it has worked so well I have had my 2wd stampede for 8 years and no parts replaced yet! All is good👍

I watch a lot of your the AMain videos. Lots of good info when I was getting into crawling. Thank you so much.

I've always been good with maintenance on my R/C's. I don't live near a hobby shop, which means on line orders if I break something. So keeping a close eye on things is a good way to save money and keep bashing without hassle.

Excellent job doing this type of videos Brett. Congrats and thanks for share with us😊🙏🏼👌🏼

Wow, I’ve been getting emails from these guys, and just found this channel. Now I’m hooked on another channel! Thanks guys!
