How do you guys clean your RC's?
How do you guys clean your RC's? I like using nitro force from dynamite, but at $10-$15/shipped off the interweb and $20 in gas to drive to my closest hobby shop its gets to expensive.

Simple green and a tiny bit of brake parts cleaner. Followed by lots of air. Unlimited supply from my air compressor. Cheaper, and more pressure than the little cans of compressed air.

Automotive carb cleaner , air compressor , WD-40 , air compressor . Works great . WD-40 does leave a residue but it makes cleaning the dirt and mud off easier after the following race day .

ive heard that:
2 pts denatured alch.
1.5 pts simple green
1 "shot" of WD-40 (re-oil the metal parts so they don't rust)
makes a good cleaner especally for nitro cars, its strong but yet gentle enough not to remove anodizing from the metals and other surfaces[8D]
