So yesterday I finally got my truck dialed in and got to take it out to the dirt field with some big bike jumps. Truck did great but a lot of the dirt out there is silt. Its super soft powdery dirt that gets into EVERYTHING. So my question is, what is your preferred cleaner for your rigs that wont hurt the electronics, I went thru almost a whole can of nitro clean and that can get pretty expensive!
 
50% mean green 50% Denatured Alcohol. Use this to clean my engines have for years. I would recommend removing the electronics though, when cleaning with any product!

That is exactly what I use, sometimes I add just a bit of water to the mix. It works wonders on the crap that stuck on bad. On my XTM Mammoth five screws all of the electronics come off, and four more the engine is off.

I take everything off electronics, engine, and tires. Just throw it in the bath and spray it down with the cleaner let is soak for a bit, then wipe it off good. Afterwords turn on your shower and wash it down, sometimes there is a film of nitro in the bathtub I just wiped it down with alcohol and a towel.
