Cleaning Your R.C. Car (Part 1)

Every RC car needs cleaning and the most frequent answer to the question about cleaning an RC car is to use a denatured alcohol taking care that it does not go into any of the electronics parts. But there might be more than that meets the eye.

Using expensive stuff like Trinity Nitro Blast to clean your car can give great results but one cannot afford to use it every time after a day at the track. There are various options available that are just as effective and affordable. Using alcohol in a spray bottle and compressor can be an option. One has to spray it such that it soaks in but not dry up. Then the dirt can be blown away.

RC Blast spray can leave smell after it dries up so one needs better options to make headway in cleaning an RC Car. Take a solution of simple green and rubbing alcohol, Special engine cleaner air tool and an air compressor of any kind. This trick can be done it with your air compressor as well. If you go to the tracks, quite a number of people are there who bring air compressors and blow off their R/C with air. Although air compressors works somewhat; but not as much as the whole trick given here.

Air compressor can be obtained from anywhere, Wal-Mart, Sams, Sears etc for $69 or less. RC blast costs about 5 dollars. After 10 cans one has spent the same amount of money on an air-compressor. If you already have one, you are more than halfway there.
