RC CAR WASH how to clean rc car / truck after off road mud NEW TRAXXAS MAXX 4S 

Can you use armorall for cars

I've never used it buddy, not sure what's in it, I'd use it if it's silicone based 👍🏻

Thanks for watching and dropping a comment matey 👍🏻👍🏻

Yup really good for the plastics too, makes them less brittle 👍🏻

Thanks Tibor 👍🏻 top bloke 👍🏻

Thanks for watching Scott, your welcome matey 👍🏻

Thanks for watching matey, appreciate it 👍🏻

Ahhh mate it means a lot, thank you for the support 👍🏻👍🏻

Hey me again doesn’t it rust?

Not if you use a spray lube/Grease once its all dry 👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks for watching and commenting matey, really appreciate it 👍🏻

Thanks Rick, much appreciated buddy, I've got a few friends that will only ever race serpent 🐍 love it when the radio trays can be removed for cleaning 👍🏻👍🏻

@@rcworxshop really? Serpent isn't too popular here in USA.. wish there was guys to help me set up & maintain....I have RTR so I'm learning by trial and error.. so far she's a "princess rc" only runs very good when perfectly clean/oiled.... little bit of dirt/ grime she grinds, looses acceleration....

You'll have to search out your local racing club, always someone on hand to help at rc clubs 👍🏻

All the more reason to keep it clean if you have a Mojave, nice truck 👍🏻 straight up keep um clean they last longer 👍🏻

Certainly here's a video of cleaning up inside the diff cases, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PB9NT8qGogk.html surley you take your truck out in the wet?? If so this is no different but with clean water. Thanks for watching matey 👍🏻

Nothing will happen, if you use on all metal parts any rust preventing or water repelling (or both like silicone or ptft) you are out of warries

Much appreciated matey, thanks for watching 👍🏻👍🏻

Your welcome matey, thanks for watching and welcome to the rc world. P.S you will have a second rc by this time next month 🤣

That means a lot, thank you👍🏻 and welcome to the hobby 🤟🏻

Ahh thanks matey much appreciated, thanks for watching 👍🏻

Thanks for watching Mark, much appreciated matey 👍🏻👍🏻

Yes the tyres do fill up and you don't want to seal them off as thisbchanges performance, you need a 3mm drill bit, I know this sounds wrong but you need to find the centre of the tyre in the thickest part and drill through, once you've mat a hole and pulled the drill out, you won't see the hole once drilled, then say your tyres are full of water as you run the truck the water will make its way to that little hole as its in the centre, literally run the car for a minute on dry ground and they will be empty, hope this makes sense 👍🏻

@@rcworxshop yes thanks

@@rcworxshop can't you just tape the hole while washing the car and then take the tape off after 😂

Drill a little hole in the tyre, when you use it they'll empty 👍🏻

Awesome matey, glad to help, thanks for watching 👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks matey 👍🏻

Thanks for watching matey 👍🏻👍🏻

It'll probably remove a small portion of it yes, but this is a clean so more so to remove the water, I would always recommend re-greasing every 2 or 3 hard bashings in the wet 👍🏻

@@rcworxshop gotcha

@@rcworxshop I don't have a air compressor to dry my cars off, and I live in Washington where its cloudy a lot. I'm thinking of getting a small leaf blower to dry them. Do you think that is a good idea? I'm thinking in going to use simple green and brush it everywhere and the rinse it all off. Then use the leaf blower to dry out my bearings. I've been using a hair dryer 😂

If it's not a sunny day I leave mine over night by the radiator, and lube it up the following day, simple green and a brush do work if you've not ran it in mud and dust 👍🏻

@@rcworxshop Everyone says "Don't use WD-40 on the bearings because it breaks down the grease and oil on the parts" when if you think about it, would you prefer WD-40 in the bearings or dirt and water? It's easier to reoil or regrease the parts after using WD-40 than it is to replace the bearings because water rusted the bearings or dirt stuck in them.

Thanks matey 👍🏻 I put a bead of vasaline under and over the seal 👍🏻 and make sure the servo and esc wires lie flat 👍🏻

I've used my truck in deep water many times, although I'd your cleaning it you may aswell take the battery out 👍🏻👍🏻

Still works to this day, still has the same bearings in, still getting dirty, still cleaning it in the same way 👍🏻 thanks for watching matey really appreciate the support 👍🏻

@@rcworxshop nice knowing that ! Very nice ! Huge amount of overthinking about it suddenly gone. Thank you and good luck !

Sim está bem 👍🏻👍🏻

Yes stock truck is fine for this 👍🏻👍🏻

@@rcworxshop would this be fine for the arrma typhon 6s?

Hi I belive it's water proof, it's worth checking first if so go for it, if not you'll need to take your electrics off, I have however seen people on RU-vid fully submerge their typhon under water 👍🏻👍🏻

@@rcworxshop Wow, that's awesome, can you link me to that vid or tell me the name of the video? thanks!

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4O37Y9XlT58.html this is the one buddy 👍🏻

🤣🤣 nail Place 💅

The brands used are muc off, thanks for watching muc-off.com/collections/all-bicycle-products?gclid=Cj0KCQjwvqeUBhCBARIsAOdt45ay9ya7rBWZcDkxiCKGS6mEFXbcj8bxUNpXuOzaNGaq5bgZKIi7keQaAguVEALw_wcB

Nice one your a star matey I've done the same 👍🏻👍🏻

Got to keep um clean, thanks for watching matey 👍🏻

Yea i havent cleaned mine for a while so i cleaned them this apast week

Thank you buddy 👍🏻👍🏻

Water proof um, water and rc crawlers are the absolute perfect match for me 👍🏻

@@rcworxshop I'm just a newbie and don't want to put in all the money yet

Yes matey, make sure it's water proof or quickly take the receiver and esc out if your unsure

@@rcworxshop thanks

@@rcworxshop :)

No probs 👍🏻👍🏻

Yes buddy as it comes from the factory you should be able to was as it is, if you've opened your receiver box make sure all the wires lye flat where the come out the box also doesn't hurt to ass a bot of vasaline or thick grease around the seal 👍🏻👍🏻

@@rcworxshop thank you!

Your very welcome 👍🏻

If left to unrinsed and not dried off and without lube yes its possible 👍🏻

They are Proline badlands on proline desperado wheels, available at most model shops 👍🏻

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8AGy6I4Q98w.html

Yes buddy, as long as you personally know that the radio box has a good seal 👍🏻 should be fine though 👍🏻

Your a moto x rider looking at your profile pic, do you give your plastics on your bike the once over with gr85 or wd40? all racers I know do, it doesn't stop mud from going on your plastics but it sure does make it easier to remote the dirt

@@rcworxshop no i mever put anything on the plastics and if i did i would spray on a rag and wipe on making sure not get any in any pivot points

🤣🤣 do what ever makes you happy 👍🏻👍🏻 thanks for watching matey

Silicone bumper spray 👍🏻👍🏻

A lot of people soak their plastics in wd40 as it makes the plastics more flexible and less brittle 👍🏻👍🏻

Your correct 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Mines been completely submerged on many occasions including the water crossing video "on the channel lol" and its been cleaned like this time and time again, thanks for watching matey 👍🏻

@@rcworxshop Nice! I just bought all that stuff you had, but got dupot Teflon lubricant spray and then mucoff silicone shine. And some paint brushes lol. Gonna use my big plastic sink or the hose In spring but may get a sprayer instead as well. Great video! Had no idea I should do all that stuff(or at least it's the right way to clean it well) Thanks! Subbed. I'll check out your vids!

It just showed me a comment then vanished, can't see your last comment sorry matey

@@rcworxshop Weird. I just said how I bought all that stuff that you had, or variations of a couple. And I had no idea I could clean it like that or should. So thanks! And also I subbed and would check out your vids

Awesome matey thank you, really appreciate it, there's more maxx mods being uploaded this weekend 👍🏻 it's and absolutely awesome truck 👍🏻

Not if its only a little dusty but if there has been mud "water" yes 👍🏻

They will if you don't spray it with lube as Traxxas bolts aren't stainless steel 👍🏻

It's a 5L pressure sprayer they're between £10-£20 👍🏻

@@rcworxshop ok thanks so much

Your welcome 👍🏻👍🏻

@@rcworxshop oh btw r u still using that hose and will it make it rust even with drying it??

Still doing it yes matey, as long as you dry it out and then use spray oil it keeps the rust away 👍🏻

It's called much off its like a soap agent that soaks in to the dirt and grease helping to release it 👍🏻 thanks for watching matey 👍🏻

@@rcworxshop thanks for your response

Just search "rc car stand" on ebay there will be plenty to choose from that spin, thanks for watching buddy 👍🏻

That's what I done, I do love the x maxx but the size is actually a negative, loads of battery power needed and if you go big and get it wrong the thing crashes hard, the mini maxx takes much more of a beating in my opinion and only one battery at a time 👍🏻👍🏻

@@rcworxshop thats awesome.

No offence, I've been doing this for the last 20 years never had problems, as long as you dry it out properly

I’ve too have always cleaned this way never had a problem

Thanks for the back up, knew I wasn't doing anything wrong 👍🏻 never had a problem either 👍🏻

All on ebay by name matey 👍🏻👍🏻

Called muc off 👍🏻

How's it going to still out with your rc lately? What's the latest?

@@rcworxshop All good on the rc front I been doing a bit night time crawling as no one down the park to bother you.... I would like to bash with u as you as not to far away U up for it?

Sounds like a plan, I'm looking to put a crawler meet together this summer 👍🏻👍🏻

Mate it was filthy 🤣 I like to keep mine clean, you must admit it looked shop fresh once finished 👌🏻

Ahhh I'm so glad you mentioned it, I'll stop using it now I've been told better 👍🏻 NOT

@@rcworxshop I couldn’t find GT85 in the states. I got some tri flow superior lubricant with PTFE. Similar to GT85 I assume. I’m going to be doing all the pivot points, and steering points like you did. It makes sense. I do it for my dirtbike too.
