Air compressor. blow gun and stiff paint or stippling brushes .. but only when the mud has dried .. When it's wet, we use a garden sprayer with a very fine mist and a fine jet setting .. hard but gentle at the same time .. ;) All my electrics take about 2 minutes to remove ... Velcro on speedo and receiver ... ;)  SignaturePaul > ok....got two TB01s and 6 different rally bodies AND i built a track > in the back yard and i'm ready to roll.....but these cars will be int > he dirt and it's already loose..... > > how do i go about cleaning the car itself without causing water damage > to any of the parts? Can of compressed air, and spray simple green on the bodies to clean them off. But why clean them? i really meant the cleaning of the shock towers and all those hard to reach places.....and sensetive spots.....exterior of the gear box, all the sus. linkage... and don't air compressors just shove the dirt further in? i'm a bike mechanic and compressors are a no-no for any part that has any moving parts inside.... also...this is just loose dirt...not mud.... as for the bodies....i'm not too worried about those.... > i really meant the cleaning of the shock towers and all those hard to > reach places.....and sensetive spots.....exterior of the gear box, all [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > as for the bodies....i'm not too worried about those.... Why would it need cleaning? even if it was rhetorical.... dirt snugged between two moving parts causes wear. wear leads to slop and other issues.... i'm big on keeping things clean. i think it's super cool that everytime a car leaves the pit area in a race they try to make it look like new...if there's time....not becuase new is good or cleanliness is next to godliness....but becuase it shows pride in workmanship.... thanks for the tip Tom.... I bought a soft paintbrush that I use to brush the dust away. The bristles are about 5 cms long. Works pretty well. >i really meant the cleaning of the shock towers and all those hard to >reach places.....and sensetive spots.....exterior of the gear box, all [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > >as for the bodies....i'm not too worried about those....
