Senton is ready for a nice bath. The diffs are ready for re-oiling then re-greasing. I'm getting a new screw set because my bottom screws on my front shocks are bent wacky. I'm putting a chassis brace underneath the chassis so I have a less chance of snapping it. I'm planning on getting some sort of mud guards so I don't get dirt/mud/grass in the electronics and chassis. Junk is always getting caught in my fans and stopping them, so i'm going to get some sorta mesh and put it over the fans.

Your car will last longer if you take care of it. And I took the motor out cause it was jamed full of dirt and i figured I might as well clean the whole thing while i'm at it.

When not in use I clean as well. I just don't take out the diffs. I take the motor, ESC suspension components out when I clean. I use a really hard paintbrush. Then I use WD-40 to shine her all up!
 
Hmm, I am thinking of doing this too. I have a Senton 4X4 Mega, stock electronics, and the body seems to be the same as yours. Any tips?

The body, or the chassis, with the chassis i'm planning on putting it in a big bucket of warm water and dish soap and scrubing it down and like Exc31 said spray it with WD-40 to shine it up after it drys. With the body 'im gonna clean it real good then duct tape the cracks better and maybe reinforce it somehow. My cousin keeps wet wipes in his rc bag so when ever he goes somewhere he can still clean it if need be.

So I broke the aluminum tube thingy beneath the barrel of a bb gun off, and used it as a tower brace. Just drilled some holes and used nails as pegs. It still has the "camo" paint on it. Hope it'll make my chassis last longer. And it is'nt pushing on the body mounts, pushing on the diff housing, which should hold up because it has 3 long screws in it. Still haven't gotten to washing the chassis yet. :)
