How to Clean Your RC Car After a Muddy Adventure

Running through mud is awesome — but cleaning up is where real RC care begins. Here's how smart RC hobbyists clean up after the mess.

1. Shut Down & Strip Down

Always turn off and remove the battery. Detach the body shell and wheels if needed for deeper cleaning.

2. Rinse, But Don't Drown It

Use a damp cloth or spray bottle. If you must use a hose, keep it low-pressure and never spray directly on motor or electronics.

3. Scrub and Inspect

Clean the suspension arms, chassis, and undercarriage. Inspect for damage — mud can hide cracks or worn parts.

4. Dry Properly

Use compressed air or a fan to blow dry. Avoid hair dryers (they can melt plastic or electronics).

5. Final Touch: Lube Up!

Re-oil bearings, grease joints, and tighten screws if needed.

Bonus Tip:

Consider waterproofing your electronics for future off-road adventures — or check our shop for waterproof RC models!
