yes i know this is dirty. i had it at the track 2 days before i just brought it back and haven't cleaned it. although when i first got it, i took it all apart and cleaned everything. looked beautiful. but once i got to the track it was back dirty again within 5 seconds. obviously.
how do you keep everything so clean? do you completely tear everything down after each run? forgive my thoughts, but thats seems a bit much to have to clean every time you run.

I don't do a deep cleaning after each run...just when it's needed. I do use compressed air after each run to blow the dust and debris off the chassis and out of my electronics.
During a deep cleaning, I use a lot of elbow grease, compressed air, gun cleaning brushes, Remington gun action degreaser, and then finish up by re-lubricating all parts that I use the degreaser on. A little WD40 doesn't hurt...but remember WD40 is technically not a lubricant...its application is for water displacement.
After I take one of my trucks out mud bogging, I remove the electronics and then use the high pressure sprayer to blast off the mud. After that, I do a teardown on all of the drivetrain components and put the WD40 to work. Then re-lube and re-assemble.
May not be perfect but it works for me.
