Interesting, someone had a 3d printer.... that hinge pin retainer is one of my designs.. cool to see that stuff out in the wild being used..

I would personally pull the whole thing down into pieces and hand wash all the plastic stuff in warm soapy water.. not a bad idea anyway so you can inspect the diffs and such..

Take apart, pre- wash and then dishwasher.

I'm new to cleaning RC's but not new to cleaning big cars, so take my advice with a grain of salt.

I hose down the car for loose dirt with a gentle setting. If it's real bad you can use a diluted degreaser and hit the car with a soft brush. Paying extra attention near bearings because you don't want to push water or dirt inside them. I dry the car with compressed air making sure also not to directly blast the bearings. WD-40 on and near the bearings to kick moisture out. I use some of my car detailing products afterwards to clean my car.

Here is my car when I took it for a beach bash on a rainy day, and then underneath is right after I cleaned it. (But before its next bashing lol)
