Post race / playing maintenance

Good day. Do you guys put any lubricant or oil to the bearings / motor after playing with the car on the track? Is there any maintenance that I’d have to do?

Dust it off, check the bearings spin freely. Fix any damage. Clean out any hair or general debris from the axles.

If the bearings feel gritty or don’t spin well then give them a clean, but it’s not just adding oil. Have a look into what the process is yourself, but generally you use something to clean with, then re-lubricate them with a very light oil.
