I’ve been in this hobby 20+ years and have never heard of anyone doing this. What are the perks behind this practice?
Surface Compatibility For all variations : WD-40 demonstrates none to negligible deleterious effect to plastic, rubber, and metal hard surfaces. This includes Acetal, neoprene/hard rubber, HDPE, PPS Copolymer Polysulfone, Teflon, Viton, steel, galvanized steel hot dip, electroplated, copper, brass, magnesium, nickel, tin plate, titanium, and zinc.
Sorry but I don’t find his video to be overly scientific.
I only wipe them with wd40 i cant just spray everywhere i want to keep them away of my driveshafts at all cost and rod endsAgreed. I like the East Tactics YT channel quite a lot, but this experiment made me cringe so much I couldn't watch it until the end. I certainly appreciate the effort, but it is not a proof of anything.
The real solution for improved plastics in RC applications would be to have manufacturers hire material engineers to optimize their plastic composition to achieve specific mechanical properties. Meanwhile, if you think soaking your plastic parts in WD-40 improves their durability, go ahead and soak away.
