washing the XB

[ocy9]

i've been running my XB super rich since i'm breaking it in and there's raw fuel all over the thing. it stinks of gas and my hands get dirty just by lifting the thing. i can't even bring it inside the house to work on it because of how strong the smell is. i tried wiping it down with some paper towel but it's still greasy all over.


how exactly to do i wash all of that gas off without messing up the electrics?

There is a mixture of WD40, dentured alcohol and simple green. It works good to clean your kit and blow off with a air compressor. After your breakin it will be cleaner due to a liener tune

32oz denatured alcohol

16oz Simple Green

1oz WD40

what if any of that liquid gets into the battery box or onto the servos?

Put the cleaner in a spray bottle. You can avoid the electronics. You won't be using any water.

I spray my whole vehicle down and immediately blow it off with compressed air.
