RE: clean vs. dirty
Holy! That's insanely dirty! Clean it, clean it, clean it! [>:]
Yes, I use my truck. Usually only on pavement, but most of the time, after I run it, I take all the electronics off, spur gear, and sometimes the engine and clean the chassis with spray cleaner. Then I clean all my shocks with a toothbrush, washing it for each shock. Then I'll put everything back on and clean it with that stuff on. I'll get a rag and wipe down the underside a bit, then spray it. Then, we move to the bulkheads, where I spray some of that stuff around there, add a bit of grease to the CVD joints, make sure none of that seeps out, then grab my toothbrush and get away all that clingy dirt.
I don't do this every time though, just when it's really dirty (which, to some of you, is probably quite clean)...

I believe they have a name for that...ummm...Obsessive compulsive disorder...lol..
I thought I was bad, I pretty much take it all apart After every 2-3 runs, depending on how long my GF let me play for, and how long she will be out of the house for me to clean my truck..
I use the Engine cleaner and that seems to work pretty good. You have to keep these fairly clean or they will be tough to maintain.

RE: clean vs. dirty
no i started at 11:00 pm i did this before just had to figure out what to do then do it then reassemble it was around 1:00am ended up putting the gear that had 2 teeth missing on the throttle servo and put the throttle servos gear in the steering servo cause it has more stress and the throttle just has to brake thats it

RE: clean vs. dirty
I sprayed it on every part all over the parts...Except the carb, I tried to avoid getting the cleaner inside the carb, and down under the glow plug.. My Engine still runs fine.
One thing I do know...dont spray it in your eye...thats not good for it..
