Default Slash 4x4 running in snow

i just bought my slash 4x4 today and i just ran it in the snow, can you dry the parts with a blow dryer or is there another method of drying the truck

If you have an air compressor that really works and helps, but other than what you are doing i put mine near our central heating vent sometimes and let it dry like that

The colored parts are aluminum so they wont rust but you need to worry about your hinge pins ect, spray the suspention with WD40 when your done running it while its wet if you want and let it sit.

My buggy RoyBoy taught me to spray a light coat of WD40 over the car before running it on mud so it won't stick as much (works well).

May work as a layer between your parts and the water/snow to help minimize rust issues.
