Cleaning.
 
How often do you guys clean your rc cars?and how do you do so?

I recently picked up another HPI Sprint 2 Drift, Iused to have a different Sprint 2 Drift, that I had bought used, and sold maybe 2 years ago.
With both cars however I would constantly clean them after every time I would drive it, I figured it would do no harm, and could only help prevent potential problems.
Granted it is a bit of a lengthy process, regardless how often does everyone clean their car? and what do you guys use to clean with?

I clean my car of dirt and dust every 3 to 5 uses and do a full lube and clean every 2 months.

Now when you say lube, what parts do you lubricate, as far as i can tell my car has no parts that need lubrication?

every car needs lube. your bearings need oil, your motor needs oil, you should check your shocks to see if they need rebuilding, check your diff if its a gear diff you deff need lube in it as you really dont want to run it dry.

i usecan of compressed air and paint brush to dust it off. i have sealed berrings so i dont lube themand the rest of the drive train is sealed so i dont mess with that either.

i just clean my car off when it looks dirty or i feel like it.
