My inspiration for this project came from a video i saw on youtube a couple of weeks back. Its simply a EDF (electric ducted fan) much like a jet strapped onto a car which is powered by a brushless speed controller and lipo battery. These are used in RC planes to reach incredible speeds and have rarely been used on land based vehicles. My base for this project is an old Cen roller which needed some attention, when it arrived it was thick with grease and needed a really good cleanup.
This is how it was:
I stripped it down and cleaned each individual part, you can see this process below:
As you can see the parts were thick with grease
All the screws were starting to rust and very fragile, this was helped by a WD40 bath :)
The shocks were in a very bad state only one was working and none of them had oil in them!
This is how its looking now, fully degreased :)
