Sounds like they're pretty strict, will they let us play with toy trucks there?

This fixes everything

Safe for electronics too. Let dry before putting ESCs back in the case.

I waterproofed my trucks this winter with Corrosion X. Not to purposely go in the water, but to protect expensive electronics. I'll go in puddles, shallow water xings and get some pix by small waterfalls but that's it. Sand gets everywhere and isn't good for anything, but I don't think dirt is anything to worry about. Unless you're talking about mud. I h8 mud.
I don't do much for cleaning my trucks after a day out so I tend to try and stay as clean as possible.
I'll take a pile of rocks over anything.

Sorry for the long post, woke up and can't sleep. 😐
