Post any tips here to help your fellow R/C'ers. Please make your tips clear and easy to understand. Hope this helps :D
urrm to make bull cups go on easier and or move more freely add a lil drop of shock oil.
For stripped holes many people know this but some dont. Add a lil drop of CA glue do the screw up but not to tight. unscrew it... let it dry then put the screw in but again not to to tight.

The only bad thing with using shock oil on ball ends is that it will collect dirt accelerating the wear on the parts.
c'mon its a ball end its a lil cheap part:p
you do have a point though. But when I drive my cars and trucks they get dirty but I clean em. so no accelerating wear for me, well maybe a bit but it makes everything move nice and free. I use shock oil for everything :D well not really.

You can also use fuel tubing to protect your components from a nitro body, as seen here. (http://www.rcnitro.com/articles/nitrobodies1.asp)
