      @@Gavins_Crawler late reply but, marine grease. little bit thick at first, but it thins out, keeps water out. To do so you take them apart and apply a small amount to any gears. Tedious, but saves water from getting in and having to replace things. Ive also heard plasti dip is good for certain electrical leads such a servos and batteries (where the wire enters the battery, NOT the end you plug in)

    Hello
    Nice wee video. I thought you ment clean like service... Get the axle housings opened, drop the wheels off to pull the half shafts.
    Blow out the motor with compressed air.
    Also suggest you go dual stage foams on they wheels.
    And i would swap out the stock 21t titan motor and the XL5 to something a bit more hobby grade, like a HW 1080... Or better yet a nice brushless system
    Three times a year i do a full bearing change and once a year rebuild the gear box ;)

    Great video! The Traxxas waterproofing is impressive! Not sure I'm brave enough though!😀
    I use an air line to clean dust off ours, a slightly more gentle wash for mud! 😀 I run contact cleaner though the motor, then machine oil the bearings. I give the chassis a spray with silicone oil to finish. Good to see your Defender driving away after the bath!

    I clean mine after each ride no matter what and inspect the drive line for any disturbance and do full service on it every two months or so, got my trx4 sport 9 months ago and been doing maintenance on it every month and going easy on the old girl, no problem so far not one thing wrong with it. Recently purchased a trx4 defender last week, just finished a full rebuild and inspection of the drive components, no issues at all, planning on keeping both of them running for years to come. In my oppinion, traxxas makes some if not the finest radio controller cars and trucks, my top favourite.
