Im mixed, I love to look it over and get it all new again.
But hate to time it takes. It takes me about 2-3 good days to get mine where i like it. Because I do a complete tear down. 8)

I have a specieal spray i use with a compresser and it gets everything pretty good. But racing every week there isnt really a point to doing a complete teardown.

I like to tear mine down, but sometimes I just don't have the time.

I clean my rc's spotless everytime i take them out. It only takes me 5 mins to clean my savage spotless brand new even the tires. I get a brand of degreaser and it is an extremely high pressure can and if you press the futton just right it will blow any dirt away. then i push the button on full ball and leave it like that it looks like a big white snowball.come back 10 mins later and it is perfect

2 or 3 days :shock: it takes me an evening to completely tear a savage down to the diffs, clean and rebuild. so about 4 hours. and savage's arent the easiest to dismantle

What I hate most, is digging the dirt out of the allen heads on the bottom of the chassis. If you dont get all the crap out of the screw, you could strip it....I have found that a xacto knife is the best tool for the job, just use a old blade, cause the tip will be gone quickly.

I have a idea on a car cleaner, that if it works like it does on a car, will make cleaning these cars much much easier....

YES! I hate that crap... :twisted:

My compressor will get all our most of the dirt out but if it doesnt I use one of the little picks the dentist use for your teeth to get all of it out
