Can I Use WD-40 on My RC Car?

WD-40 is a well-known product that can be used for a variety of purposes, from lubricating hinges to cleaning up sticky messes. But can you use WD-40 on an RC car?

The answer is yes, but with some caveats.

WD-40 can be used to lubricate moving parts on an RC car, such as the drivetrain, suspension components, and steering components. This will help keep your RC car running smoothly and reduce wear and tear on the parts.

However, it should not be used on electrical components as it could cause corrosion or short circuits.

WD-40 can also be used to clean up dirt, dust, and debris that may accumulate on the body of an RC car. This is particularly useful for cars that have been stored for a long period of time or have been exposed to the elements.

Simply spray the WD-40 onto a clean cloth and wipe down the body of the car.

It is important to note that while WD-40 can be used on some parts of an RC car, it should not be used as a substitute for proper maintenance. An RC car should still be regularly serviced and cleaned in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions in order to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

In conclusion, WD-40 can be used on some parts of an RC car but should not replace proper servicing and cleaning in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions. It can help lubricate moving parts and clean up dirt and debris from the body of the car but should never be applied to electrical components as this could cause corrosion or short circuits.
