Mud cleaning

[Rmwgk1]

Hey guys got my mt a bit dirty the other day and took awhile to clean up. I was wondering if anyone has input on what chemicals help clean up real nice once the clumps of dirt are cleaned off? Thanks

This is a question that I have often thought myself. So far I have had good luck with a light water rinse and WD-40. I have not tried any chemicals on it yet but im sure there out there. It seems like I have been spending more time cleaning and fixing mine then driving it.

I have had great sucess in using these products http://www.shop.teamanaconda.com/R-C-Cleanning-Products_c6.htm They will have you car looking like it just came out of the box and help repel dirt for the next great bash or track session.

Oh cool I'll try that thanks ! Yeah cleaning and breaking stuff has been a issue with me but I've learned that these big heavy rc's can't take driving like my 1/8 scale stuff. Much more finess is required for me. Since I've bashed a little less rough I didn't break as much stuff. I wasn't prepared for the cost of breaking parts either(wow) its gets expensive!!

2 parts denatured alcohol, 1 part simple green and a little wd-40 works great!

and if you have an air compressor, you can spray the simple green and blow dry clean!

I use the mix that rampage idiot posted. Too much degreaser can be hard on the bearings.

I also use the juice rampage idiot uses. Great stuff.

I use a bucket of hot water with a cup of degreaser and a toothbrush.

. Sounds like a job for my son. He wants a mt like mine but he needs to learn the value of a dollar a little longer.

I use a pressure washer followed by a blow dry using my air compressor.

Kidding!

Dish soap and a brush along with air blow dry. Then I run it for a bit to ensure the engine "boils" what ever water that remains in any hole or part I can't get to.

Foaming Tire cleaner works great. And air compressor with a long end. Use a piece of metal break line for length

Here is my Slash 4x4 which I cleaned it in the shower (took me only 10 minutes that way) and a brush (after pulling of the front and back), then dry it in sun and air blower. Touched the screws with a little wd40, also the joints, removed excess wd40. Drives like brand new...

OMG

Now that's some serious mud! I would be nervous about getting the motor and esc too wet.

 

[GoffeeRedCat]

The slash is supposedly water proof! I called Traxxas on how water proof it is and they said if any on the stock electronics short out they'll replace it for free! Lol I literally laughed my butt off!! Then I turned my slash in to a boat after I hung up the phone!! Till now she still runs like a champ

 

[Guest]

I guess if they warranty it. Get her wet.

 

[BoukeG]

I did it a couple of times now and it still runs... I wouldn't do that with my xbe though.

Add some inner wheel wells to it and it helps alot to keep inside clean,

Unless you use it as a submarine! lol

Holy crap! I'd be scrubbing every piece individually!
