Cleaning your car is an essential part of this hobby. As these are mechanical moving parts, it is prone to collecting dust and other items that may cause binds - WE CALL THESE BINDING.
Typical examples are hair strands that collect in wheel wells and axles. Dust in gears that act like sand paper during continued high speed use thereby destroying gear meshing.
Gears
Do not over grease your gears. Instead before a race, dip all your gears in WD 40 or a similar brand of lubricant. The oil will stick to the gears thereby lessening the need for greasing.
Bearings
Dip your bearings in the lubricant as well after spraying with anti-static spray. Binded gears will heat up the plastic and loosen its hold. Worse, it may even break the bearing wells.
Dirt is the enemy of an efficient racing machine. The more dirt, the less performance from the motor or the batteries.
