What i would do is remove the reciever and try and keep as little water as possiblte from the throtle brake servo,and engine.The stearing servo is water proof,but i'd still be careful.

I think it would be safe to do. long as you keep the water away from the electronics. Everything else is should be pretty waterproof. Then just let it sit out in the sun for a quick dry. whip out the armour all and shine that baby up.

you'll cause more harm then good
why bother, you're just going to get more dirt and grime on it the next time you run it

No. You stand a very high chance of getting water into your throttle servo and engine. It is also likely your bearings and clutch will be rusty a week later.
If you want to clean it properly, tear the thing apart, clean electronics and the engine by hand. Dont wash transmission parts or bearings. Toss the rest in the dishwasher.
