Dirt and screws tips?

[pissant]

I got mud in my screws that are on the chassis and my question is how do i get the mud out of them, its all dryed up, any tips?

Get a nice tuff kitchen nylon bristle brush and scrub it. If you wet it be sure to blow it well with an air compressor.

If that doesn't work, try an exacto.
DON'T chip the blade!
Go easy.

I just use a dental pick you can get them for like 99 cents at most hardwear stores,

If you are anal about the look of you chasis and other metals, You might want to draw back in fear of Exacto knifes. A stiff cleaning brush or dental pick works wonders, speccially for tight hard-to-reach places. as for the screws throw some threadlock and a small washer, one with a very think height, And it will keep most of the crud out of the sink- and allow you to clean it a lot easier. I have also heard that washers will keep the vibration down. As for metal or plastic washers, I use plastic.

I usually use a toothpick so it doesn't scratch anything. If that doesn't work I use a #11 X-acto blade. I've seen some products that you can stick on the bottom of your buggy or ST chassis that are basically clear vinyl that keeps dirt and scratches off. If you're really anal about that kinda thing...

Use an allen wrench that is smaller in diameter than the hole in the center of the screw.

I bought these picks from WallyWorld that came in a set of 4. 2 of them are pretty useless, but one of them is a straight shaft to a point, and the other is a 90deg bend. It works well with exhaust springs.
I use the straight one to dig the crap out of my screws all the time.
