Hi all
I've just finished running in my new T-Maxx and thought I would do a little
off-road. Got the thing covered in mud, looked cool as was a lotta fun but
nightmare to clean.
I spent close to 3 hours with a toothbrush scrubbing the mud off. Any
suggestion for making this easier. Could I just remove the radio gear and
engine and then dunk the thing a bowl of soapy water or is that bad news for
the truck???

cover the carb and electronics, you can remove the electronics if ya want
but they are pretty water tight if you cover them, spray with some Simple
Green or Orange cleaner and hose off!! If you have access to compressed air
it it good to blow it dry, if not use a hair dryier..

Clean it well this time.....Next time before you run it spray the truck with
PAM.
The dirt will fall off the truck when you clean it at the end of the next days
running.
Used this trick when my son was racing 125 PRO motocross.

If you haven't got the latest update on this, there is a Nitro spray
that you can buy most of the car hooy stores. It works really good.
You spray it on, and let it sit, and it takes all the dirt right off.
I think a bottle runs about $10.00
