how do you guys clean your trucks. i see that some people take all the electronics off and then hose them down. some use comopressed air. some strip them right downd and clean every last part by hand. whats your opinion on what to do. btw I'm lazy and perfection isnt needed just clean
 
i just strip them down to every last part and clean them by under the sink and with compressed air and than cover all my bearing and stuff in wd-40 cheack out the tread FINALLY!!! and u'll see my trucks i'm still not done putting them back together
 
i go get alcohol cleaner from my lhs or pj1 super cleaner from moto world and spray the parts with dirt you can't get to or my engine to get grime out of the fins...

and i also use my air compressor because there is not really potential harm, and it is efficient and fast...

just do it the way you want to do it

and occasionaly i strip mine down when it gets bad.
 
well tonight i tried to jump a big mud puddle and it didnt work to good. it landed upside down in really thick mud. not too pretty at all.
 
There's this pink stuff you can get from towerhobbies to wash your rc car... It work wonders!!!
I'm not too sure what it is called at the moment..
Had a very dirty, muddy revo... not it looks almost new!!
 
i thro it in the tube get a cup and wash around were it needs it then put it up on its rear to dry so water drips off from the rear sted of leting it run to my servos and stuff on the front or hose it down on its rear the blow down with air or better hair dryer

tub LOL
 
i use compressed air and a long paint brush like the one the artist use and its perfect
