Be careful using brake parts cleaner for cleaning the whole truck when together. I use it to clean parts when working on it but personally will not use it to clean my truck while together. Denatured Alcohol would be much better.

I do use it on the complete truck and have not had any issues yet. I do not avoid the servos but I don't drench them either. Do be careful of the chrome on the wheels, it will damage that.
Oh, and only buy the non chlorinated kind of brake cleaner.
I will say that Simple Green and an air compressor works just as well, is much less expensive and does not smell nearly as bad.

If you cannot find Simple Green any good degreaser will work like Purple Power or even 409 or Fantastic.
Simple Green, though, is also biodegradable and so won't hurt the enviroment. In the states you can get it at auto parts stores, Wal-Mart and even some grocery stores.
