Anything else? What about the tires?
You got it... clean it (simple green, water, etc) spray it (wd-40) and blow it off with an air hose if you can.
If you know it's going to get wet, I would suggest spraying some wd on the critical spots... hinge pins, wheel hubs (bearings), etc.... before he runs it, then clean up and wd again after.
My boys are 7 and 9 and I got them both a Slash and it's been the best rc for them yet. It looks like a real truck, looks bigger with the full body, isn't scary fast and dangerous like a 1/8 vehicle but it's not wussy and toyish like a 1/18, and it takes a beating pretty good.
have fun...
