Default How to clean

I've been running my savage flux for about a week now, an I want to clean it how should I go about doing so. Being that its battery powered i'm guessing water isn't its friend ??

All depends on how clean you want to get it. You can dismantle it if you want to get into every nook and cranny, some people spray WD40 on the bearings to clean them up a bit and others just replace them, but they shouldn't need much attention if any after only a week. If it's just dusty and you have access to an air compressor that'll get the job done in no time, or just use an old toothbrush and a damp cloth to give it a good once over.

I like that dishwasher method :-)

I've plastidipped my ESC and servo guts. Motor will just have to deal with it. I guess if nothing higher than 30 degrees Centrigrade is used, the car will be fine :-)
