I actually enjoy cleaning up my RC’s after a run. It’s the perfect time to give them a good look over to make sure everything is still in tact plus I like keeping my stuff looking and running like new.

I wish I could have a gas power it’s too loud in my area, it’s not difficult to keep gas maintained. People think you can just put it on the shelf. Then they hate on it. Great tips Earl. 👍💯

Absolutely love this rc 👍 i walk by it every evening at my part time job. I want it bad. Out of my hobby money expense 🤔 maybe one day !! Great video earl 👍 👍👍

Excellent video Earl! Folks don't understand the importance of cleaning and maintaining their RC's to make them last longer.

Nice to see others running flat out

Awesome, the cleanup is part of the reason I don’t have a nitro. Thanks for showing me your plan of cleaning

Cleaning and tuning are my favorite part of the hobby. I love when I break things lol. Gives me something to do

I like the after run clean up only difference for me is I bag the carb prior to water just to make sure nothing gets in. I mainly like RC for the tinkering/repairing. Running is fun as well but I have more fun in adding addons, adjusting etc. I prefer gas/nitro as I can seemingly run longer without charging batteries etc (besides the tx and rx) But on downside is the noise need area that people won't complain to you about it.

Simple green clean!! 👌

EARL….one thing about cleaning gassers is you don’t have to worry about esc,,,,motor…you can more liberal with water,,and not worry to much about electronics as much,,,,only the servo..that’s it. I find it a lot easier and more forgiving washing a gasser….🇺🇸🚘👈

Love that air blaster... Beats during up the compressor. Going to have to find one of those.

I'm working on a buddy's Lois MTXL. It's nice and fun but that Five T looks Insanely fun. Earl thanks for dropping another great video. 💯👍👊✌

I definitely need to get one of those electric blowers/blasters! Looks way easier than busting my little pancake compressor out and waiting and waiting. Thanks for the video, Earl!

Great cleaning vid👍 When I had my Baja 5b SS I mixed the same green degreaser and denatured alcohol 60-40. I put the mix in a spray bottle w/presure pumb. Paint brush and spray then let drip dry. Than spray Baja with wd40 and wipe and done. Never saw water!

I can’t wait to get a gas rc. Love your tuning info videos

The maticulous cleaning is important on all rc battery and fuel. Just make it habbit everytime and it does not seem like such a chore.

Maintenance is part of the fun going over all the nuts a screws an cleaning it !

Good reason to consider very carefully any purchase of a used gas rc

Great video Earl 👊👍💯

Great video. The cleanup and all the extra maintenance is the reason I'm not a big fan of nitro cars. I have a couple and I haven't used them in 7 plus years. I find it more convenient to use my electric ones.

I clean up all rc's after every run ! Great video

too much of an investment not to maintain ....good info here boys&girls 😁😎

I totally agree with your approach with your RCs Earl…. I too always clean my RCs after a run session because to me …. I look at it as these are expensive machines we basically play with and should be handled and maintained properly and in doing so …. Cuts down on the wear and tear we put this RCs Through…… excellent journey you took us on with these 2 stroke beasts……👍🏻💯

Nice tutorial on how to maintain these big RC's you have made now less scared of them so i might get a 5ive T 2.0 or 30 Degree North DTT which is a 5ive T clone. I think i might be safe running gas for awhile but i do want to convert my future 5T 2.0 to electric brushless 8s. I hope you still have this awesome truck and you're enjoying it as i would.

Spot on information for storage/ after use earl 👌

Great video. I always clean my rc’s after running even when iam running them a day or two later again. I miss my air compressor. Where I have moved it’s not allowed to use it. So cleaning takes so soo much more time now. Xmaxx for example takes up to one hour without compressor use 🙈

Great info here

That truck is on my RC bucket list. Just can't decide between 5t 2.0 or new DBXL 2.0.

Nice looking

Hay just trying to help you may want to put a bag over your filter and plug your pipe so you don't get water in the engine

I’ve never drove a gas powered rc car but definitely want to try one

Nice builds!

Nice vid bro

Gas is more work. In my opinion. But can’t deny that SOUND 😎💪💪

looks like new awesome

Denatured alcohol is o-ring and plastic safe.

Hey Earl! Great job on cleaning the big rigs up! That's what I like to do also when I'm done running them too! Do you spray any lube like WD-40 or anything to displace water in the drive train, driveshafts CV's, linkages??? I love your videos and tutorials bro!🤔😉👍📹✔️💯👋👋👋

I was considering getting a 5t it’s definitely well worth it!! Just letting it sit for awhile isn’t good!! What do you think is the first upgrades I would need?

Ensure. Insure would be wrong in that context. Sorry Earl

Do you spray any lubricant to protect against rust?

40:1 is not very smart.
