Well I got a new cleaning method that works. Kids ask parents first.

Interesting[&:]

Is striping it down really worth it?

I don't use a dishwasher because it leaves spots.

I used jet dry

No spots

Well, it does say dishwasher safe on the LST box so you should have no worries.

It's worth it if you want to clean it. If you do not want to clean it I do not recomend striping it down.

What is the weight of your LST now ?
The wheels are full of water ?
Did you put scotch tape in the hole of the wheels ?

lol, you guys crack me up

LMFAO LOL! Ive seen it all now. Fair play to ya for having the bottle to stick ur £500 Monster Truck in the Dish Washer!!

Husbands, don't even bother asking. The wife was looking over my shoulder at this thread, I mentioned that using the dish washer to clean up the LST was great idea......not a word was spoken but the look I got spoke volumes. Undoubtly, those of you with ex-wives, wives and/or "live ins" know what I'm talking about.

I can well imagine the looks you got

I would not dare do that with my LST as that would be the end of my hobby[:'(]

My wife IS my dishwasher, and I doubt she'd like me putting the LST in her.

lol you crack me up there jefx

My wife did not say a word. But " your a goof" As far as the tape over the holes good idea
got to do that next time. Wheels are out of balance now till they dry. I had to. Either that or take it to the car wash. No damage done to either though. Just blew it dry with an aircompressor not a hair dryer LOL, and sprayed it down with alot of wd-40.

By the way... the wife doesnt like going in the Bathroom to find an LST soaking in the bathtub

to get water out of wheels drill a couple small holes in center of tire in 3 spots . run a couple straits and water will be gone.

I think I will wait for the water to evaporate rather then drill holes in the tires. Thanks though. Good idea if you want holes in your tires.

holes in your tires do no damage at all, although i think drilling into rubber might be hard, i can imagine it would get all tangled round the drill bit.

Except maybe you end up with holes in them

so? you dont go and drilll a 1inch hole, just a couple mm! it wont do any harm, your hardly gonna notice it at 40mph, and they wont get enlarged

I spray mine down with "Simple Green" & let it soak a bit. Then rinse with hot water & blow dry with the air compressor before detailing. For that I use either silicone spray or WD-40 depending, with a cotton rag... But I love the dishwasher idea better! Lucky I have a tiny washer or I might try it.

What are you giving it a perm and some highlights??? Do you take appointments. I would love my LST to look it's best before each race. You are the LST stylist!!! lol

why not just take the tires off next time its in the dishwasher? no water and no holes in them

to lazy

fine with me!
