Corrosion on shelf queens

Post by paul1600 » Tue Apr 28, 2020 10:26 pm

Hi i'm getting corrosion on my Yokomo shelve queens magnesium parts, what could be doing this as they have been in cabinets for years & only just noticed the other day the corrosion. Any help with stopping this would be appreciated.

Best thing to do is take them apart and glass bead blast them then coat them with a clear coat spray.

Who leaves shock oil in their shelfers? Leaving shocks dry seems the cleanest option to me but curious what others are doing.

Last post

I just rebuilt two sets of shocks and I used the green slime on the seals and no oil. If I ever run them, I just fill them with the oil I need. No muss no fuss no mess.

For those who build kits without intent to run them, do you usually build and bleed the shocks as carefully as if they were to be racers, or keep the shocks dry to avoid the possibility of leakage?
I know it is unlikely that a freshly built shock...

Well, hmmm. i say fill um, with oil and just buy the extra o-rings in case they leak... But really the oil should not go bad or anything while in the shocks so I say fill um up. That way you are covered with proper damping if a shelf queen falls off...

I just pulled out my YZ-10 to do a little work on it and I noticed the rear bulkhead/motor mount had some white residue on it that wasn't there before. The front bulkhead is completely fine though.

I was wondering if anybody else has had this...

Those connectors look to be mostly weatherproof . I would maybe flood with MAFS or QD cleaner (CRC is the brand I'm familiar with). Like, upright and puddled then like folks are recommending, soft, long bristled brush. Quick, dump, fill, brush,...
