Hi guys, new to the truck side of r/c, mostly fly planes.... but just curious what is the best way/ and what to use to clean my buggy after an afternoon in the dirt pile, what product is safe etc.....

Thanks Harold

is that a TTR ST-1? then it's a truggy....

I mostly suggest the use of compressed air and a paint brush.

Hi, it is a Thunder Tiger ST1, of course when you mix exhaust residue and topsoil, it gets pretty messy, so wanted to know what I could spray on and wash off without any problems.

Thanks Harold

TTT for info.....

Simple green mixed with abit of rubbing alcohol..Spray it on and wipe it off.If you have access to air cmpressor hit with that too..Works great..

Thanks for the info, also what about cleaning the whole thing, dirt in and around sevos etc, it's filthy, I would like to spray and then wash it off, is this safe....

Always beware of electronics obviously but to answer your question that is the way i do it..Just wipe the servos off and dont soak them to much

Your welcome..Spraying everything down with WD-40 will make washing your truck alot easier.Hell i have even run mine under the hose(remove the electronics first)..never a problem..

Yep, spray with WD-40 before running and everything just comes off that much easier.
