Clean your rc truck after playing in mud
July 31, 2010 - 11:47 pm
Lots of people like to operate their remote control truck toys in thick mud and puddles. It just doesn’t get any better than this, but you have to plan for some cleanup afterward. Many rc truck models come stock with electronics that are not waterproofed. If your truck product listing did not mention a waterproof ESC, then you most likely don’t have one! Some folks cover theirs with a plastic wrap before running in mud, which I think is the minimum to do. If the electronics are indeed waterproofed, your bearings may still require maintenance. A few people spray their trucks down with water and are just careful to not get water into the bearings or engine. Most people prefer to use compressed air for cleanup.
