After every time I go and bash around I will clean as much of the truck as possible without doing any taking apart of the MT. ARO and clean off the dirt.After abouta gallon of fuel I will rebuild the engine and do some little stuff here and their.
And after a hard allday bash I will take the electrices off and throw my MT in to the shower and give it a good spray all over of Simple Green and rinse it all down with warm water and the I will dry it all and apply the oil to bearings and other moving parts. thats about it

Well... I run a savage.

After every run in dirty conditions, I hit it with a garden hose and use canned air to blow standing water off the carb needles and servo's after the days beating. Drop some ARO down the gp hole.

Before I go out the next day, I give everything a once over to make sure no screws worked loose of fell off. Also check the air filter to see if it's dirty.

Every gallon:
1) Clean the pullstart oneway with alcohol
2) Pull the cb and rough up the shoes with fine sand paper and sand the inside of the bell.
3) Check the bell bearings.
4) Check the header gasket to make sure it's still gasketing.
5) Inspect all cvd's and outdrive cups for wear.

Short of that, I listen to it when I drive for any gear skipping or anything. Anytime something doesn't sound right, I shut it down and find the new noise.

About every 10 gallons, replace engine.

After I run I airgun the dirt off....pour some ARO down the GP hole and run it on the box for a second to spread the ARO around.....replace the plug and finish cleaning w/ a bristle brush and air gun......De-antured alcohol in spray bottle and finish w/ the air gun....change AF every 10 tanks give or take.....If it's clogged obviously I change it....but I usually rotate it a few times before changes......check drivetrain and put in the bag.....I just sell my engines around 3-4 gallons and get new....but I run Cheapos P2, Fantom .18, RG and Fantom .27......just got V-spec but waiting for bettr buggy to lay it in.........

No Problem I think one of the best thing to do is clean your MT right after u are done that way it is out of the way and it is easier to clean when its warm and stuff hasent dried
