CEN ENTHUISED, there really is no other way than disassembly to properly clean your rig. If you have a air compressor, Home depot sells a pneumatic engine cleaner gun that acts as a mini pressure washer and you can lather your buggy in Simple Green or Dow Scrubbing Bubbles, let it sit for 3 min and then rinse with the gun. Even baked on Georgia Red Clay falls right off. After you rinse, drown your buggy in WD-40 to displace any moisture, especially where there are bearings and metal ball connectors. Hope this helps.
See how it works Cracka? Now that wasn't so hard.

yeah I would go with an air compressor, thats what I use and its probably the only way you're going to get it clean without really taking it apart. tooth brush sometimes helps but can be time consuming. maybe get one of the smaller Co2 tanks for paint ball and figure out a way to attach an air nozzle to it, it would be portable, refillable and easy to move around, alot cheaper too. I may have to try that myself.

Cracka, if you look at his name you see it says "tech rookie" which means he may not automatically know the ins and outs that the more experience guys knows, so it's a legit question. Part of growing this hobby is helping the lesser experience guys by sharing knowledge. So in other words, grow up and stop being a piece of male genatalia.

BTW --- just for you rookies --- it ain't too smart to be blowing scrubbing bubble or simple green or stuff into your bearings and other creavices with compressed air. All the WD-40 on the planet isn't going to displace it.
Nope, that wasn't so hard at all latigre. <<<rollseyes>>>

the only "right" way is take it apart. But these work great for getting into all the nooks and cranys.

I guess all you Tech Rookies pay attention to that sort of stuff.

Anywho, I agree with you that WD-40 doesn't displace 100% of the moisture however if you race often, then the damage from grit and dirt in your bearings not being removed is greater than a smigen of moisture that will evaporate as soon as your bearings heat up during racing.
