Well I tried asking this in the Cow-RC forum on here, but got no response so I will repost here. I have searched for cleaning brushless motors and other information and thought I might be able to get some good opinoins here.
I've basically ran nitros last 8 or so years and recently switched to brushless. In the past I normally ran on concrete, skate parks, etc etc so I never had a huge issue with dirt, and when I did run off-road on my nitro rigs I just removed all electronics/pipe etc and use 25% simple green solution. now that I have moved to brushless I have some questions about it and the cleaning products available from Cow-R\C
Their moo-tor cleaner, can I use that on my B4.2 with no worries? I would like to be able to take the car off the track, spray it down with a cleanser without have to remove electronics.
Then go home and do a deep clean.
How often should I be cleaning my brushless motors, internally and externally?
When I run my buggy its usually for about 2 hours of drive time on a dirt track or dirt road, fairly packed, but quite dusty. and I run it about 3 times a week at best. Currently I have been using a plastic safe reedy spray cleaner that leasve no residue. I will spray it down at the track, then get it home and usually clean it all the next day.
When you guys clean your brushless rigs do you use a propelled type can cleaner, and finish it with simple green? or what? I just need to figure out the most cost-effective way I can do this without being detrimental to my buggy.
