I usually spray car engine oil on the tracks before battle. It is not thick and the dirt does not stick on it. BY the end of teh battle the dust has gone. The hinges go extra smooth and sweet slippery, you can tell from teh sound. The main reason I am doing this to avoid rust and friction from dirt INSIDE the hinges' pivots.

Tanks are supposed to be rusty. Mine usually get lubed with paintball paint.

Did you leave the lube on? Did you strip it off? I'm concerned that with no lube it's going to surface rust pretty quickly, but with lube its going to be a nice glue for all the dirt, stones, pebbles, dust, grass, and whatever else I might be running over when the tank is running. What are people's experiences in this? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Great Deals on Dell Laptops.
