I can see how dirty these monster trucks get, quickly too. Periodically I
might want to clean this thing. If I was to take out all the electronics
(it's electric) do you think I could just run it under some fresh water?
People like to keep their full scale cars clean, why should it be different
with RC!

Forget that I used the word vehicle, that means to transport.

You can, but don't immerse the transmission or differential(s). Water
will creep into (and through) the bearings.

Suspension components and shocks can be sprayed clean with a hose. You
might also be careful of rust on steel parts.
