I came across You-G shocks (the blue ones) on a Fox. I have always thought they looked really good, but they are not the quality of the golds. They are a step-up from plastic shocks, but not by much. I was disappointed in the You-G ones (except for the look).

I have a bunch of vintage bearings (a mix from Kyosho, Tamiya, and Associated cars). What is a good way for me to clean and test these? I'll toss those that aren't good anymore and use the cleaned and tested ones for runners. Looking around online it is suggested that I need specific oil, a case, me...
