Preventive Maintenance

[George16]

I give mine a cleanup after each day or bashing. For the diffs, shocks, bearings etc. I usually tear it down during the winter months (one truck at a time) and it goes to the dishwasher for a thorough cleaning.

That a great idea. Sure beats pulling all apart,soaking in degreaser and then using an old tooth brush.
Excuse me now while I go convince my GF.

+1 for that idea...I just need to make sure the wife is NOT around when I do this. Being a compulsive neat freak, she would lose it if she saw me putting rc parts in the dish washer
