Default Nitro noob with a few questions

Hey everyone. Just bought a used revo 3.3 and I'm new to the nitro scene after a former stint with an rc10T 14 years ago. Got a couple of questions for the experts.

How do I clean this thing up? It's got nitro covering everything. Can I simple green it? Anything to watch out for as not to damage it?

It came with 23 hex size wheels that are pretty mangled. Should I keep this size or drop to something smaller/ mostly bashing around the yard, but still want to go to the track and have some fun too.

Anyother noob avoiding pointers you can throw my way would also be appreciated too. Thanks everyone!

Yes, u can use simple green and a supply of compressed air(like a compressor or a air duster can) to blow off the simple green. As for the wheels/tires, u could probably keep them as long as when the wheel nuts that hold the wheels/tires on are fully tightened, they don't feel too loose when u try and wiggle them back and forth. As for other pointers, I would make sure to get some extra glow plugs, get a good set of hex drivers. and that's all I can think of for now. I'm sure others will add to this eventually....

Yeah simple green will work, try to stay away from electric components and wires. And try to get a cage
