i usually pull the mill and electronics and take it to the car wash and power wash it it works great lol.

i spray mine with wd-40 then blow it dry with the air compressor

instead of wd40 i use brake cleaner and an air compressor sometimes gasoline for really stubborn dirt and other stuff

I am kinda picky about this, but I take out the batt box, take off the front and rear assemblies and clean the three pieces with a 50% simple green/water solution and a hose. Dry off with an air compressor, light spray of WD-40 and air dry again. takes about an hour and a half to do 2 complete trucks.

I use a little Water.denatured alcohol, wd-40 Mix works great. Then put into a spray bottle and spray well getting the little nooks and cranny's extra well then blowing it off with the air compressor. You can also add a little simple green for even better results.

Same method I use. Works very good.

All the above suggestions work great...just remember to think green when washing stuff off with chemicals. If you ever watched an animal die of accidental poisoning you will know why I bring it up. Brake cleaner is awesome but it takes paint off concrete. Purple power and simple green are enviro friendly and work great.

Simple Green contains water and will rust the bearings if it gets in them. Thats why I like WD-40. But I agree. the less you use the better. A light coat of WD is all you need.

i remove the mill and elec, and toss it in the tub with dishsoap....have a small pump and hose to wash er down. then wd-40 the bearings etc etc
