Priority was to save the electrics obviously and the engine. that will have to come appart and get soaked to get the gunk off it. all the plastics for the car are in a sunlight solution now to soak off the crap and all the metal parts will have to get cleaned with brakleen, as the bearings shall.
of course, these bearings were already cleaned and lubed earlier in the season, many of which only had one good seal so they are totally crusted inside now ha.
I was considering getting a new nitro chassis next year and might clean and rebuild this one to sell for a cheap price. it will need a full set of bearings to be its best, but all the guts are still good and i have PLENTY of new plastics in my spare bin.
surprised the touring car didn't get this filthy. it was actually pretty light on the crap.
