Isopropyl alcohol isn't a problem. The problem is that all the motor sprays that I've ever owned usually contained one or more of the following:
Hexane, Propane, Isopropanol, n-butane, and Isobutane. While plastic friendly for the most part, they are not ideal for electronics.

"Motor spray" is a generic mixture of various crap manufacturers think it's good for motors.

What about using denatured alcohol as a cleaner?

The RX8 is based off the RS and is very similar. However, because it was designed for multi-pole high voltage motors the sensor only function is locked out in the software. Sensors are not as accurate with multiple poles/slots so sensored only is actually detrimental in 8th scale electrics. Thus to protect the uneducated public sensored only is not available on the rx8. I'm sure you could "jailbrake" it though...

You should see a litle red light in the center of the LED switch between the last three LEDs which is for each phase of the motor. You need to look pretty carefully when doing it.

I was just doing what Tekin told me to do...I've never had an issue with motor spray damaging electronics. Brake cleaner, which many people do use, has definately caused problems. But if you want to be on the safe side use electrical contact cleaner then. Compressed air often can not clean well enough, depending on what is in the motor.

Find them at Walmart or Advanced Auto. Walmart is a bit cheaper, I think about $4.50/12 Oz.
