Cleaning my 1/5 Buggy Help
Hey,
I recently bought a aowei yama buggy petrol 1/5, and its a nice experience to change from electric to petrol something different. But the question is
" HOW DO I CLEAN IT"
I have read that i can use AIR COMPRESSOR i found one could you tell me if that would do its role to clean the buggy? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ring-Automot...air+compressor
Use WD-40 on the parts of the car not all of them like bearings etc.
after cleaning use the lubes and grease to put on bearings.
Can i use water to get rid of the mud ? or do i have to take all the electronics out?
I would like to see your point of view and whats the best for me, to not brake the car and it can work for long time, also if you clean yours then tell me how and if my ideas are good or bad?
Any help will be good!

depends on what u mean by clean...if u are just cleaning off dust and dirt generally all they need is a good blow out with compresses air and a wipe over with a wet disposable wipe.
my recommendation is to avoid mud. it makes one hell of a mess.
for really muddy cars I recommend cleaning with a tooth brush and a tub of soapy water.
say with my 5ive, I remove the motor, radio tray and fuel tank and clean it in sections.
Just be careful with water it can cause rust so always dry with compressed air after cleaning with water
