CorrosionX Uses and Benefits?

[kacordy]

I just bought my first can of Corrosion X. I have 2 new Aqua Craft 2030's on the way. Can you guys give me a few tips on the best way to prep the new motors, maintain my existing motors, ESC's and electrical components with this spray.

Thanks, Allen

I'm not a fan of it for motors, to heavy after the carrier evaporates.
On my outboards I prefer a good soaking of WD40 after running then a drop of machine oil on the bearings, if I flooded an inboard I'd do the same.
As far as the electronics once again a good soaking but this time with the CX then hang em up and let the excess drip out, clean off the wires and outside of the esc. Good to go.
I pack the top (gear train) of servos with a plastic safe white grease then spray the control board with the CX, I do my best to keep it out of the feedback potentiometer in the servo.
I run Spektrum radio gear so I don't do a thing the the RXs, the 3 channel is epoxy encapsulated from the factory. Not 100% sure if the 2 channel is waterproof or just resistant from being sprayed with conformal coating.

I began using it when I got into Tunnel outboard, I spray liberally into the AC 2030 motor. The venting holes are your friend, I make sure the copper windings are coated with the CorrosionX. Spray both ends of the end bell. You can also use that on the bearings although I use heavy machine oil for bearings exclusively.
For rx you can spray into the casing and make sure it is soaked as well, the contact points etc.
I have not used it on any ESC as of yet, but many people do just that and have good reports.
I never trust the advertisement hype, but I got to say this is wonderful stuff, I had bought a used boat and the rudder rod and ball link were all covered with rust, I sprayed on it and wiped off with a paper towel. It actually takes off superficial rust and lubricates.

I have used it on motors AND esc's and it is great stuff. I generally spray on the esc and then let it sit a few days before I plug it in. Really makes a difference on the esc's and seem to protect the motors very well.

I really appreciate the advise. My goal is to create dependability and respect my equipment.

What local stores carry corrosion x?

Has anyone tried the Circuit Wash and Trio that CC Racing Engines distributes? I immediately thought of that when I decided to try FE.

I put x on everything aside from motor bearings, as mentioned above. its saved me hundreds of $$ in RX and esc. flood everything electrical with it and drive it like you stole it

I know people who actually dip their motors in Corrosion X

The red can stuff works well for motors ; this coats ESC boards nicely :
