Hey everybody first and foremost I just want to say a massive thank you to every single person who has chimed in and helped me with every single post and question that I've had this place is absolutely fantastic and the love and vibe of the community is among the best I've ever had online so huge shadow to all you guys and girls on here that are all here to share the love that we have now to my next question with all the RC cars that I've had before this one I never really bothered with any type of oiling or maintenance or anything like that basically just pulled the battery out and threw it away for the winter sometimes even drove them in the winter and put them away wet and to be honest they would always usually still be working just fine but I don't want to do that with my new truck I know that these things are way different than those 1/16 scale little toy RCs The manual says absolutely nothing about maintenance or oiling or anything like that today was probably the last day I will be driving it as the temperatures are getting way too cold and it's just getting too dirty and sloppy so I've learned how to discharge all my lipos and got a great charger to do that but what I'm having a lot of trouble with is finding specific tips and details about what I should do to the Kraton specifically the 4S V2 BLX which is the model that I have. I'm sure maintenance on most of these is pretty similar but I'm just wondering if there's any of you out there that can chime in and let me know some of the most important things that I should do as well I have no idea what kind of oils or lubes to use when it comes to RC cars only ever worked with real vehicles and stuff like that any suggestions or links to places that will ship to Canada with products that you guys can recommend would be fantastic and much appreciated I'm also looking for the best possible screwdriver / RC toolkit I ordered a couple which I will post pictures of again here one person said that both of them will be pretty much useless so I'm kind of looking for recommendations on everything hope this post isn't too long and I hope it's in the right place if not mods please chime in thanks so much again to everyone in this form it's so welcoming and a fantastic thing and I'm very happy to be here thanks again from Canada I tried to make sure that I didn't get any water on the motor fans or the ESC even though they say it's waterproof I still feel like it couldn't be the greatest thing in the world to get water all over it if you guys need any more pics of spots that need attention to detail please let me know
