Hi.
Just picked up a pre owned kraton 8s, truck is not much used at all guessing 15-220 packs maximum. Want to tear it appart and start with maintenance, replace all diff oils etc to know what i have
What is the best to do with bearings?
Should i open them and clean them? If so what could i use to do it with? Someone use wd40 but would not that make it too sticky for dirt?
What is best to lubricate them with? I have this oil from hudy, should i use it?

Is there a risk to destroy the bearing when one open it? I don't have any spare and i struggle to find new one from arrma when it comes to the one on the diff output 12x24x6mm.
Seems like the truck have most of the same sized bearings like traxxas but not on the diff, only thing i found in stock nearby was same size bearing from a electric skateboard, is that ok use or should i get something that is ment for RC? Since one need to open the diff completly to remove this two bearings i want something that last if i need to replace them.
Personaly i have just runned all my rc back in time and never cleaned or oiled them, just replaced them as they breaked. What should i do this time around for the bearings that require some time to replace like the one on the diffs?
Cheers
