1.) thread lock on all metal to metal
2.) i believe someone said this about wd-40 but i use this dry-film lubricant stuff that dries on almost clear but it lubes/protects/and lasts for a long time.... RZ-50....it works and it's not as smelly as wd-40 and it only takes 10 seconds to dry....highly recommend using it no matter where you're running...
www.rz-50.com.....
3.)the "soak your bald tires in acetone for 2-days to save your wheels" method has always worked for me...highly recommend as well
4.)so such thing as too many spare screws....keep as many as you can...you never know what you'll need them for
5.)always use the proper hex (standard/metric) its a bitch if the hex gets stripped..
6.)always solder one battery lead at a time....leave the other end shrink wrapped untl your done with the first.
7.) any other tip i have i got from you guys here!!!! so before you start a new thread about a problem...research, research,research!!! this site is awesome!
