Don't laugh, it was either this, or drive it through the car wash. :D

This thing is so easy to clean, everything is held in with body clips, makes it much more enjoyable to keep your ride looking nice.

Damn, now that song will be stuck in my head all day, thanks Alpine. :D

did you get the "honey why is there mud in the bath tub" line?

Nope, I ran her worthless ass off long ago. And the tub got cleaned when the car came out.
 
LMAO You knew we'd laugh! I haven't broke down and cleaned mine yet. I've got to get a deans plug for the Killer Bee so I can remove my electrics. The Baja looks good dirty too!

I had a good laugh myself actually. :D What's the Deans plug for Charlie? I'm probably just lost here, but aren't all your electronics in / or attached to the radio box too?

Thats nothing......


Cleaning.webp


Got it real clean. I have also used the bathtub and kitchen sink.

^^LOL I'm totally stealing that idea, that's awesome. I know for a FACT it gets guns super clean, and nice n dry too.
 
Would never put my guns in the dishwasher. Everything hand cleaned.

I never have myself, but I've seen it done firsthand, and was amazed at how well it worked. Mine are hand cleaned as well, because it's what I was taught a long time ago.

The Killer Bee hooks up to your receiver and runs to the killswitch on your motor via 2 wires. Either remove your pullstart and disconnect from the killswitch, remove electric lid and disconnect 2 said wires from flimsy leads on the Killer Bee, or Deans plug (nice and easy;))

Just way too many parts that are needed to be specially cleaned, and oiled properly.

Agreed, plus I like to check for wear and tear as well. Plus, it's kinda lame, but it's relaxing to me to spread out the towel and tear one down and put it all back together, knowing it's cleaned, oiled, and I can depend on it. I get that feeling with guns, I get it working on my bikes. I don't get it from working on the RC cars, even though I enjoy working on them, I don't get the same kind of satisfaction when I'm done. I have no idea why it's that way though.

Oh I gotcha, you have the Killer RC remote kill switch, very nice. For a second there, I thought I was missing something on mine since I'm so new to them.

Yep. I feel the same way. Break them all down, and clean every 2 weeks regardless of whether i use them or not.
 
I used to dunk my ARs in boiling water to clean them. Don't laugh, it works. You just need to lube 'em up when your finished.
