Old RC go fast secret

[brwlf]

I really don't know if I should share this or not....It has always give me and my compadres an slight advantage and others might already know. But anyway here it is, well I'm not gonna just come flat out and tell ya, I'll let ya figure it out.

You know those bearings you buy for 19.99? Well, they are packed with grease! Grease is very viscous and slows the bearing, but its better than plastic.
What would be better than the grease packed bearings?
Could you replace the grease?

Think about it........I'll leave the rest up to your imagination.

Umm Gees What would work... Could it be GRAPHITE? Yes I bet it is.

Sorry but that is not really a "Trade Secret" It is well known in the RC community. Another benifit of using Graphite over Greese is that Graphite does NOT attract dirt, hair and other debris.

is graphite available at a local hardware store??

[tavisjohn]

Yes, it is also available at most hoby stores, grotery stiores, and locksmiths. However make sure you get powdered graphite. It also comes in an oil suspension (That can be sprayed on) as well as in other liquid forms. I reccomend you stick to the powder form.
