How Do You Clean RC Car Diff?

Cleaning a remote-control (RC) car differential is a necessary part of owning an RC car. The differential is responsible for transferring power from the motor to the wheels, so it’s important to make sure it is kept clean and free from dirt, dust and debris. Keeping your differential clean can help ensure that your RC car runs smoothly and that you get the most out of your vehicle.

To get started, you will need some basic items: a brush, rag or paper towel, oil, and some WD-40. Begin by brushing off any dirt or debris from the outside of the differential. This will help ensure that any small particles don’t get inside while you’re cleaning it.

Next, use a rag or paper towel to wipe down the inside of the differential. This will help remove any dust or dirt that has built up inside. If there are large chunks of dirt or debris stuck inside, use a brush to gently loosen them before wiping them away.

Once all dirt and debris have been removed, use some oil to lubricate any moving parts within the differential. This will help keep them running smoothly and ensure that they don’t wear out prematurely.

Finally, spray some WD-40 into the differential to help prevent rust and corrosion from forming. Be sure to wipe away any excess oil or WD-40 before reassembling your RC car.

Conclusion

Cleaning your RC car’s differential is an important part of keeping your vehicle running smoothly. By brushing off any outside dirt or debris first, wiping down the inside with a rag or paper towel, lubricating moving parts with oil and spraying WD-40 into the differential can all help ensure that your RC car runs at its best for years to come!
