Venting MX28 HP's

[ThrasherRC]

Is it ok to use the sharpened brass tube method to vent belted badlands? Or is there a better method? Just didn't know if it would compromise the belt.

Following. I am also curious for the sake of getting water out when they get wet or after washing

You shouldn't waste your rigs anyway. Just wipe them clean with a good spray cleaner.

Unless I put my rigs away until summer, getting muddy is pretty much unavoidable.

Yeah I wash mine after every session they get dirty. Which is almost every one. Blow em down. Cover ESC and motor fans with aluminum foil. Wash em down. Blow em dry. Wipe em down. Spray with wd 40. Haven’t had any issues and not a single bolt or nut gets rusty.

Yeah, same here pretty much. I always take the power module out and clean behind/under it as well. That and maintain/replace bearings as needed.

My winter project is replacing all the bearings in my rigs with fast eddies. Legit looking forward to it haha

I knew @Rich Duperbash tested these a few months ago and I decided to watch it again to see if he talks about venting. He doesn't in the video but he does in the comments. I have to wonder if the people who are saying that it will ruin the belts have actually tried it or not. I'm venting mine for sure.

I run the MX 28 HP's on a rig. I vented mine and they have held up perfect for over a year. I used my soldering iron with an 1/8" round tip, melted 2 holes clean through 180 degrees apart. Smelled HORRIBLE but worked.

Sweet, that's great to hear! Thanks!
