Stuff called nitro force. It's 8 bucks a can, I bought it to try it out. Works pretty well.

it evaporates, quickly. just like disc brake cleaner on a car. I thought about just using that instead, but it may not be good for plastic

lol alpine.. yeah not all my servos are waterproof..

 

[alpinehyperlite]

servo's, esc, reciever, and motor. haha

I used to clean mine with Simple Green after removing the electronics. Got it really clean with a simple rinse from the hose after the Simple Green.

So, i could basically, just toss the Revo 2009 in the shower? is the Opti-drive water proof? i know all the servos are, but whats not?i know that its pretty water tight seeing how i drove it into a ditch, and half the truck was under water, but it was the back half. I'd really not like to destroy my truck while cleaning it, ya know?

No sir. Alpine was not joking. HAHA

Well, go with the advice already given in earlier posts in the thread. See what works best for you. Just dont try and wash your rig in the toilet, there may be foreign matter in there.

Non-chlorinated brake cleaner works like a charm. But it has to be non-chlorinated, the other kind will take the finish off of anything and destroy rubber and plastic.

Simple green and water the best cheap combo I have found.

this stuff called mineral oil I'm not real sure where to get but my dad gets it from his work but its made for electrical stuff it disolves as soon as it hits it and works real well.

've had really good luck simply with an air compressor just blowing all the crap off

Dish soap...I've been taking the motor, and the servos off my extremely dirty r/c's. filling up the kitchen sink with HOT tap water and dawn dish soap. This helps break down the oil also. Not quite the shower, but same concept.
