Default Dried grass bits in chasis

I recently got into RC cars, and I am fortunate enough to have enough space at the place I live to cut a track that is adequate for my needs. My question is this, how bad is it for a car to get little bits of dried grass up inside it. It seems to get in there really good around the electronics and sometimes around the motor. None of it is wrapping around a drive shaft or motor shaft so I am not worried about that, but I am worried about the electronics.

Grass won't hurt the electronics. Just blow the car out with compressed air after every run.

you dont even have to blow it out, take the body off, and turn it upside down and watch it fall

I have actually been doing that, (turning it upside down) and using a probe to dig out of the cracks that seem to suck it in.
