But when they are just a little dusty i don't clean them, is that any problem?
Brett has already answered this but we often drive thru water at our battle days and sometimes it can be messy. I would avoid washing the tank much. You don't want to force dirt or water into the wheel bushing/bearings. Normally just holdin the tank up in the air or atop a wood block and driving at top speed for moment in each direction will suffice. I got totally mudded at Brett's house two years ago. I washed the track (the only time I have ever done so) at the hotel room at the next Danville event. Tracks are not much of a wear item so no lube needed. Oil and lubes must be protected from debris and contained from going where not needed.
