How To Clean Your RC Vehicle This video covers both basic and intense cleaning to keep your Traxxas vehicle running strong. Don’t hold back, rip the throttle and let the mud fly! Traxxas vehicles are built tough to handle the most extreme environments. Most Traxxas RC models feature waterproof electronics to make mud, snow, and water running a reality. In order to maintain your vehicle's peak performance, it is important to clean it after running in harsh conditions. Clean your vehicle after every run to keep it in peak condition. No special items are required other than the basic tools in your kit and some common cleaning products. Remove any batteries from the vehicle and then blow off loose dirt or debris with compressed air and a brush (always use eye protection when using compressed air). Small rocks can get caught between gears and debris can reduce the cooling effect of motor and ESC heatsinks. For ordinary runs on grass, dirt, or pavement, no further cleaning may be required. After running in harsh conditions like mud, snow, or water, extra cleaning is required to maintain your vehicle’s performance and prevent rust. If your vehicle is waterproof, spray the vehicle with a general all-purpose cleaner after removing the loose debris. Use a brush to scrub away caked on mud and grass. You may need to spray more cleaner and let it soak for stubborn debris. Excess mud on the wheels and tires can unbalance them and cause vibrations. Remove all four wheels and clean them thoroughly. Once the wheels are off, clean off the steering and suspension on the vehicle. After thoroughly washing the vehicle with all-purpose cleaner, hose it off with water. Use a low-pressure hose to wash off the chassis and wheels. Be sure to cover the breather hole in the wheels when you clean them to avoid taking on water. After rinsing the vehicle, use compressed air to blow off the water. Clean up any leftover water with a rag. Be sure to dry the vehicle as much as possible. After drying the vehicle, spray a rust inhibitor like WD-40 on all exposed bearings and metal parts like drive cups. Leave the vehicle in a warm location to finish drying before reassembling it and putting it away. To clean the body, spray it with an all purpose cleaner and gently scrub away any mud and debris. Use a soft brush to avoid scratching the surface. Rinse the body with water and then let it dry. Once the body is dry, spray it with glass cleaner and then wipe it off to restore the shine. Reinstall the wheels and mount the body back on the the chassis. Your Traxxas vehicle is now ready to be put away until the next adventure.
