I did some research and the Simple Green BBQ cleaner in Aerosol form is the same product as the foaming crystal.

[@mav68nrs]

just buy regualr simple green and put it in one of those weed sprayers to get it to foam. I just use a 99c spray bottle. and scrub with tooth brush on bad areas and blow off with air nozzle. way cheaper then this can stuff

[@jzepp878]

Can you use regular simple green to clean your trucks lexan bodyshell? Or what to use that cleans that and wont scratch the shell up

[@jarrettmaltry6305]

J Zepp I’d think simple green and an air compressor would work well. If anything hit it with 1 coat of simple green to loosen up chunks of mud or dirt then blow it off and hit it with another coat to get hard to get the mud/dirt stains off

[@tonysmith7989]

I've seen questions about if you could please let them know whether or not it will damage the bearings and all I see is a thumbs up. Not sure if the thumbs up means you can let them know or if it will degrease the bearing. If you wouldn't mind a yes or no to make it a lil more understandable. Ty Mark.

[@nighthawkj30A4]

I clean my rc’s with the same stuff i use for my Car and atv’s and gokart. Which is Meguires ultimate products like Ultimate wash & wax along with Meguires quick detailer.

[@DeltaKilo77]

Simple green is a degreaser so not crazy about the idea of using it to clean my RC. It'll remove lubrications from bearing if it hits them. yes I understand they are sealed but sealed doesn't mean air tight.

[@h4wkッ]

If your going to do this use use a clean paint brush or woman's make up brush or even a tooth brush to agitate the dirt after you let it sit for a few minutes. I have an assortment of brushes, all different sizes for different things. Then rinse it off with water and use an air compressor to dry it afterwards or a towel if you don't have one. You will have much better results. I wouldn't let the SG dry on my car without rinsing it off.

[@matthewfojtik994]

After you do this do you need to re lube the bearings Also what wd-40 did he mean when he was talking about giving it a spray with wd40, just the normal one?

[@superdutyscaler6823]

Standard wd40 attracts dirt. Use wd40 silicone spray or ANY brand of silicone spray. I personally use wd40 specialists dry lube on all my rc's/dirt bikes/lawn equipment etc

[@TheNamesArif]

I think the wd40 is just for making the plastic look black again

[@casper17000]

@@TheNamesArif wd40 actually soaks into the derlin/ plastic and makes it more flexible/ less brittle.

[@mrnoname3802]

you dont need to rinse it off? have you noticed any effects on anodized parts? this seems to good to be true lol i use simple green but i always rinse with water afterwards because ive read simple green may mess with certain anodized parts even plastics if left on to long

[@Todd_G_FPV]

Nice dude I may try that on my xmaxx!

[@AndrewMurphy8383]

Used the Foaming simple green years ago (around 2004), tried finding it again for a quite a while and couldnt. I gave up and figured it was discontinued. Happy to see its available and Yes it works great

[@t3floz]

We don’t have it here, do you know any alternatives?

[@edortiz7399]

Thanks Mark. Just getting back into this hobby. Your channel is on point. Keep the videos coming. Thanks bro.

Hi Marc, greats from germany. I just wanna know, with what do you grease your Center dogbones? Or do they needed to be greased? Ciao and have a Good day

[@cameroneshleman4833]

It's my birthday in a week and I'm getting the Traxxas Vxl system, and I'm making my Rustler look brand new because why not. Im taking all the bad and rusty screw and cleaning them and replacing stripped ones

[@10izamar]

Hello guys 🙌🏽I need help ...in my city it is rainy season and the track has water and mud... and I want to continue using it...I bring a copperhead 10 waterproof ESC and a castel 1412 3200kv. with sensor but in the place of the sensor I already put dielectric grease.. The question is: can I use it by disconnecting the fan from my ESC? since it says that it is the only thing that is not against water, the ESC fan. what dou you recommend?? I bring a traxxas slash 4x4, can I use it and it doesn't deprogram or have any problems? Obviously after using it, wash it completely and oil it...

Is IT safe to use on ur rc cars or Truck s

[@NYRC]

What body is that and would it fit a backslash

[@sirggkas]

Hey! Can i use All Purpose Simple Green instead of Foaming Crystal? Whats the difference? Should i dilute it with water and what parts of my nitro car should i avoid to spray with it? Thank you!

[@Disco_Snake]

What if I don’t have an air compressor do I just wipe it off with a rag

[@FloodedWithGems]

Yes, but after In front of a dehumidifier with a fan on it is gold

Purchased!

[@mds1986ms]

Just dont let simple green or any other degreaser to dry on a surface... especially plastic. It will stain said surface permanently.

[@SecureRepairAndSales]

Simple green period is great and biodegradable.

Hi bro. Detailed video 👌 I'm new to RC just got myself a Losi 5IVE-T 2.0 Can I use Simple green to clean it and do I have to take apart Would appreciate your reply 👍👍

Hey Robert. jumping in here. you should be ok with it on your losi. Just steer clear of your electronics. Cheers!

anyone know the simple green concentrate work the same if diluted with water. spray optin seems exensve for me

[@williams9sean]

holy crap, Im ordering some

Please show what you do with WD40 the whole cleaning process

[@b-luv339]

Good luck find this stuff. You can only get it online. And it ain’t cheap.

[@thomashernandez4027]

Why do people use wd40. It doesn’t lube but is a degreaser and eats plastic. Also simple green is one of the most toxic cleaners you can use!!

[@wesleyvinal9801]

home depot has it for 6$ local to me

[@danielwalter5268]

Cleaner looks great, too bad it’s still a techno. 😂👊🏻

[@primal_inc]

what does wd-40 help out with after using simply green?

[@nednerb6520]

KEN if anything it makes it worse, that’s why his cars get so dirty. WD40 attracts dust and makes it stick. Use SC1 after you get your car all clean!

[@primal_inc]

@@nednerb6520 Thanks for the help..I'm new rc

[@charlesatterbury2914]

wow got to order some 👍

[@kevintoms71]

does it get into the bearings?

If you buy it at Aircraft Spruce and Specialty Company it's only $4.95 a can that's the cheapest place I Found to order it from

[@contraststriker8198]

But Bro remove your bearings, when you spray the cleaner you are pushing the dirt inside the bearings.

[@JOETexxTRAVELS]

they sell this stuff at your local mountain bike shop

[@rickdavid1795]

[@1994RALLY]

20$ 😳

[@BOOGiNS]

So the thumbnail said $4 but you say $10 a can. And rather than rinsing the soap you just leave it on lol. Okay

[@k1ortia]

Mtb, muck off works a treats .👍🏾

[@nateyzf]

I don’t see how this is truly getting your car clean if you’re not using water and a hose along with this product.

[@imserious2187]

60 bucks smh

[@wfoster34]

who taught you how to clean a car? you have to scrub it.. you cant just wet it and blow it off. you have to break the car down and "clean" the parts... no simple green sponsorship for you..

[@Biosman86]

WD40 on RC Car is very stupid!!!... It flushes the bearings and pressed the original Bearing lubricant oil off... Twice the dust and dirt will stuck on the RC Car like an magnet.Three.... WD40 Makes plastic over a long time more a bit fragile.

[@Biosman86]

Sorry for my bad english. ^^

[@madsk1llz352]

WD40 lubricates the plastic.. Seeps into the pores and makes it less susceptible to cracking or breaking. Spraying the arms and undercarriage is very beneficial to prolonging the durability of any plastic rc. Especially to those who bash. Your assessment is wrong!

[@dmac5916]

WD 40 stands for water displacement 40, so yes we-40 will soak into the plastic because it is pourus and then it will dry out your plastic and make it more brittle, slowly but surely. It also leaves a tacky film that dirt sticks too. So I definitely won’t be using it on my rc.

[@gsrhatch14]

I keep reading wd40 is bad for rc cars. Plastic and bearings

[@robertkast1380]

So my only question is why WD-40 and not a silicone spray? Dirt sticks to WD, silicone lubes and leaves a little protection behind almost like a coat of wax when it dries, just trying to understand why 1 over the other

[@roberttruesdell6151]

Robert Kast me to

[@fabricemaggio7919]

Thank you so much for your video, very nice tip. I use silicone spray either cause regular WD-40 contains acid and destroys your bearings...

[@CoryFugger]

Fabrice Maggio what about that dry graphene spray lube? I use that over silicon thinking it will prevent dirt sticking, what you think?

[@1growroom]

That's fire wow... the I use wd 40 spray silicone lube . Does not attract dust.

Don't know how to take apart the hole 4s kraton i have just know the basics Anyways i don't drive on race TRACKS or bash it or crash it Either just drive on Baseball Diamonds short grass valley areas and big shcool yards THATs it until i upgraded more

[@CJMoto]

Goodbye bearings lol

[@slidinsidewayzproductionss7906]

CJ Moto curious u think so. Is it because it’s a drying agent and cleaning agent so it’s a degreaser pretty much.

[@bigbadbronx72]

Should not be an issue with sealed rubber bearings.

[@DeltaKilo77]

Agree

[@cds1223]

Tire foam.

[@dadboddamien]

With SG being a degreaser, does it not break down grease in bearings etc?

[@cwatson42785]

Bearings shouldn't have grease on them. Grease collects dirt. You should use a thin bearing oil or any oil really will be fine. You just clean and then oil your bearings at the end 👍🏻 but no grease 🚫

[@glennhobbs59]

Wow

[@CJMoto]

I prefer Maxima SC1 to WD40 waterproof and smells amazing

CJ Moto way better than WD-40 I swear by SC1, it’s the best thing to put on your car

[@andyb9994]

I love cleaning the R/C's take them apart and clean real good put back together with a nice body to make it look good while sitting, then put a bashing body on and go do some bashing, I hate seeing cars or trucks sitting all crusty, they all look good cleaned up...with a fresh body.

[@1dirtovalracer]

Hey Mark. Question for you. Just wondering what kind of air compressor use? Looks like you have some good pressure to it. Currently I have a air tank that I have a air spray nozzle on but doesn't seem like it lasts for a long I have to keep going back and forth to the gas station to fill it up. I've been looking for a decent compressor that maybe I could take with me I have to to the track or an end to be able to use at home. do you have any recommendations?

[@GUIDE_Nico]

Do you happen to have a air mattress pump? I use mine for this.

[@carboncubss]

Bro, what air compressor you sporting there in Santaland? Needed this stuff a year ago when restoring my old Tamiyas.

[@ZeekMX]

Absolutely no WD40 because it will cause dirt to stick to everything. Don't even use oil. Get Traxxas Ceramic Bearing kit.

[@talonvaughn6175]

I just clean it and spray silicon spray on everything other then esc and fan. Bash all day and it just needs a hose off and a respray of silicon spray. I use PB blaster silicon spray the green can.

[@oestv5788]

You should try SC1 not many people know about it but it’s awesome it’s like $15 on Amazon but it is really good
