Title: Cleaning brush for Engines
Post by: ujjwaana on June 02, 2011, 12:45:17 PM
I was looking for cleaning brush to wade off girt and gum from Nitro Engines. Hobby King had something I was looking for, but as usual, they were out of stock. Good thing HK did was they mentioned these brush are used for cleaning Spray guns (Tatoo). Now I have found these brushes in ebay at much better price. Sharing coz there would be others looking for similar item.

If you ask me an old toothbrush with NC thinner works perfect for me to take out grime and grit off an engine  :thumbsup:

Hi ujjwaana I have tried using these brushes and lest I say they are totally useless as far as nitro engines are concerned, the reason for the same is that they are too brittle and also bend very easily when pushed against a surface thereby not able to clean.... Hope this helps
