Yo, iam a videoproducer and photograph. And recently i bought also the team associated. The first thing what i want to Highlight is your Quality in your videos, you realy got an eye for the shots. Which makes it super interesting to watch. And second i learnd some things from you. I hope you upload more videos, especially with that car. Much love from germany 🙌
th-cam.com/video/JCZrhuqlyLI/w-d-xo.html although the tank had fuel sitting in it for far to long and the internal line was cracked or not sealing, and I couldn't get a consistent tune. I ended up retrofitting a mugen tank.
Is this the way you would do it? The only reason I do it this way is because my time doesn't come cheap anymore and it's less expensive to just replace the bearings every season vs my time spent tearing it down, and still questioning the bearings later.
Best way to clean an rc is to fully strip it down an rebuild using the instruction booklet if you are able too then after cleaning is a good to oil an grease things car will look an run like new after that if the engine and servos aren’t too worn I’ll admit it will be quite daunting to some but I find it very therapeutic I buy old knackered rc cars for this reason
I use Meguires Ultimate wash and wax mainly because I already have it. But also it leaves the rc clean and good smell to it. Get rids mostly of the smell of fuel.

Wash car without electronics and motor on it. When using watter your bearings get wet and rusty. So let it dry is not the best way. Use compresed air and use a lube for the moving parts and bearings. Servos and engine can be cleaned by hand (toothbrush or towel)
Flexzilla® 5/8" x 50' Hybrid Garden Hose. Bring it inside during the winter time, and it will last a long time. Mine is ready to gently rinse the grime off my car every year.

Lmao. I wonder how many kids destroyed there cars after watching this video. That thing may be water resistant but it’s not a good idea to have water anywhere near the engine or electronics. In the beginning I use to take them out and wash the car with water and simple green, even that caused water to get in places under the diff cases and rust the bearings and cause little spots in the drivetrain to stiffen up from rust. If u leave your car in the sun without atleast blowing it off your stuff with be visibly rusty. Not worth it. Clean it correctly or just leave it dirty.
'we do not want the foams inside the tires to get wet' i would rather get the foams wet than my car, engine or electronics. i agree with just leave it dirty
@@HootBuilds are you reoiling bearings and driveshafts? Did you check and make sure water didnt get into the pipe? There's alot of places the water and dirt is being pushed into. like hinge pins, shock boots, clutch, under the servos, radio tray and engine. Just saying. I've learned from experience. Car looks clean, but is it really?
Make sure your servos are waterproof before doing this same with your receivers. Very nice video!
Thanks for the tip!
Best video on how to clean a nitro rc!! Well done 🙌

Appreciate the good vibes. I'm still learning about video, shots, and editing.
I really like simple green. I buy it in gallons and mix it by what I’m cleaning.
Have a great day my friend and be safe out there!
Yeah, Simple green works great. I picked up a gallon a couple weeks ago. Should be set for a while. Stay safe, and thanks for the support. 👍👍
How do I clean the gas thank

You can also literally see the rust on the bearings.
LMAO!!
You apparently didn't read the description as to why the rust was there.
Hey, I like this way of cleaning an rc. Do you think I can do it also with a Revo 3.3? Hast a lot of electric ...
Nice just ordered my first RC and went with a nitro Traxxas
Nice 👍 Hope to see some videos of it ripping around.
mañana voy a meter mi coche 1/8 debajo de la ducha !!!! gracias por la idea jajajaja
Glad it helped.
Where do we get those plugs for the exhaust and filter

They look like the same plugs that come with tlr shock oil.
Clean yes. Ruined, maybe. Quick and dirty at best.
Buen coche robusto y bonito

We will have to see. It's been sitting in a box waiting to be rebuilt since I cleaned it.
Start to finish, how long does this take you? I'm looking at getting into nitro and looking too set my expectations.
An hour tops.
Remove engine and radio tray before any water hits that thing!
Yeah, sounds like a plan. 👍👍
Wasn't really dirty to start with my cars look 10 times worse after 1 drive
What's your favorite brand of garden hose? My 20 year old soft and souple might need replacing soon.

What did you use to lubricate the ball joints?
Dupont Teflon chain saver wax based lubricant.

can i use Asperox yellow power instead of simple green ? Today i forgot what you used and bought asperox lol
I'm not familiar with Asperox, so I'm unsure if that would be to caustic.
Did you leave the glow plug in the engine?
Yep
Save yourself tike WURTH break cleaner spray and it will shine like new
Does anybody know if the t maxx 3.3 is waterproof so I can wash it like this anybody know??
Yep👍👍👍
Thanks
What about tmaxx 2.5? Mines like 14 years old lol
@@jayf2487 I don’t think it’s water proof either if you were to clean it you have to take everything off like motor and maybe the servos
Good way to ruin your bearings.
Thanks for looking out for me. Have a great week.
Imma just take the engine out and spray the car in carb cleaner and see what happens
Don't spray your rc with wd40, that will make dirt stick to it
How was dirt sticking to it before?
LOL
HeHe
def not my method
Wow. Naw bud. Or better have a back up car...
I wash my backup car the same way.
