I usually just air mine out and use a brush to scrub the dirt off, try to avoid water and cleaning agents. I am always cautious on canned grease as well (even silicone spray) is usually mixed with other goodies that can degrade plastics.I first use an air compressor and once done with that I take a paint brush spray simple green on the brush and hit the whole truck with that. Once that is done I use a separate paint brush and spray WD 40 silicone in there and again go over the whole truck. I take the motor modular out and the ESC/ servo receiver box out and clean separately
I dilute my simple green. At the most 60/40 water/simple green but usually 70/30 or less a little bit goes a long way.IMO, Simple Green eats the Spektrum ESC plastics. I'm the only guy in the world that thinks that, but that's my opinion.
If you're going to use Simple Green, wash it off afterwards.
I cleaned my car with nothing but that Simple Green crystal foaming spray for 6 months and by the end my Spektrum ESC was disintegrating like it was made out of sugarcubes. Rest of the car was fine.

Maybe use a little bit of double sided tape to help secure the switch?I appreciate everyone's input. I guess the take away for me is dilute the SG to about 50/50 and don't use on the esc as it might eat away at the esc? Is there a pro proactive approach I can take with my other cars that have the spectrum ESC on it? Maybe sandwiching small rubber o rings in between the chassis and esc? Any other thoughts?
I still can't believe the screw tabs on these ESC'S are that brittle or weak.
