Ooooh!

That's nice, not quite as clean as i left it though

I've a feelin' that there may be a few more people make the jump to the dark side, where nitro runs through the veins of the dark underloard

S**T all those fumes have gone to my head...

How it came off of the track Jim. I did think you might have cleaned it while I was marshalling! How you ever let such a dirty thing in your car is beyond me.

You'll have one next.

you'd be amazed at how easy they are to keep clean, take engine/pipe and servo's out, 1 jet wash and some gt85 20 minutes and its all sparkly again. oh and change wheel bearing every couple of months

Yeah that is pretty much what I did to my truggy after its first race in terrible muddy conditions
- jetwash (remember not to jetwash my vinyl stickers OFF the wing next time) and then wd40 all over the car - then a low pressure hosing off the excess wd40.
done!

looked like new.

So you jet wash and spray that stuff all over it? or wd40 better?

I would have thought it would be pretty much the same. I use the wd40 to displace all the water, it also makes all the parts look like they just stepped out of a salon.....

wd40 can be, if there are any areas of wd40 where it looks a bit wet I just towel it down.
