I spray wd before I go, then blow it off with compressed air, then wd again....also are you water proof??? if not, dry your electronics.

I use a small lube bottle with a needle on the end. And make sure to oil all the bearings that you can get to without taking it apart. Axles, tranny bearings, and especially motor bearings. Compressed air works great for cleaning off dirt, but be careful it can force the water into the bearing areas, and inside axle housings, etc.... I actually don't use compressed air on the chassis, just the body. |

funny thing is...you don't use 149 pounds of pressure to blow off with compressed air...20 - 30 will do it..since the water is sitting on the W(ater) D(isplacement) 40, it doesn't take much to spray it off...works even better with snow and mud...remember the old saying, little goes along way
