Used the Foaming simple green years ago (around 2004), tried finding it again for a quite a while and couldnt. I gave up and figured it was discontinued. Happy to see its available and Yes it works great

Oh yeah, I need some of that. I love Simple Green and the way it smells. The whole pit would be smelling like it.

Thanks Mark. Just getting back into this hobby. Your channel is on point. Keep the videos coming. Thanks bro.

I will be making my purchase soon. thanks brotha

Simple green is the best. I just did a RC cleaning video and it took some time. I used SG and water and the compressor. I'm bout to order this. Thanks bruh!👍🏽

Yuuup that’s a must need on rc enthusiasts that bash or race on the true dirt tracks. I’ll send my locals to your video tip.

just buy regualr simple green and put it in one of those weed sprayers to get it to foam. I just use a 99c spray bottle. and scrub with tooth brush on bad areas and blow off with air nozzle. way cheaper then this can stuff

J Zepp I’d think simple green and an air compressor would work well. If anything hit it with 1 coat of simple green to loosen up chunks of mud or dirt then blow it off and hit it with another coat to get hard to get the mud/dirt stains off

I did some research and the Simple Green BBQ cleaner in Aerosol form is the same product as the foaming crystal.

Man, this makes me HAVE to clean my fleet now. I have a few rigs that will put this stuff to the test.

I love cleaning the R/C's take them apart and clean real good put back together with a nice body to make it look good while sitting, then put a bashing body on and go do some bashing, I hate seeing cars or trucks sitting all crusty, they all look good cleaned up...with a fresh body.

Does this degrease your bearings?

I've seen questions about if you could please let them know whether or not it will damage the bearings and all I see is a thumbs up. Not sure if the thumbs up means you can let them know or if it will degrease the bearing. If you wouldn't mind a yes or no to make it a lil more understandable. Ty Mark.

I think this is a sweet product and definitely has it's place/use escpcially at the track. However, I will still continue to buy the gallon of simple green as it's just $5 locally for me. I only need to do one coat along with the water hose spray down and things come out spotless. I'll buy a can for when I need a quicker wash down but it seems like I'll get 2-2.5 uses a can and it's gone..

Nice bro.....

you dont need to rinse it off? have you noticed any effects on anodized parts? this seems to good to be true lol i use simple green but i always rinse with water afterwards because ive read simple green may mess with certain anodized parts even plastics if left on to long

Hey Mark. Question for you. Just wondering what kind of air compressor use? Looks like you have some good pressure to it. Currently I have a air tank that I have a air spray nozzle on but doesn't seem like it lasts for a long I have to keep going back and forth to the gas station to fill it up. I've been looking for a decent compressor that maybe I could take with me I have to to the track or an end to be able to use at home. do you have any recommendations?

this for normal cleaning and an ultrasonic cleaner for when you strip it right back for the big maintenance intervals will keep it like new.

Bro, what air compressor you sporting there in Santaland? Needed this stuff a year ago when restoring my old Tamiyas.

holy crap, Im ordering some

did it strip the paint on your suspension cylinders? they ;ppl red om the beginning, and gray at the end ...

So my only question is why WD-40 and not a silicone spray? Dirt sticks to WD, silicone lubes and leaves a little protection behind almost like a coat of wax when it dries, just trying to understand why 1 over the other

Fabrice Maggio what about that dry graphene spray lube? I use that over silicon thinking it will prevent dirt sticking, what you think?

If your going to do this use use a clean paint brush or woman's make up brush or even a tooth brush to agitate the dirt after you let it sit for a few minutes. I have an assortment of brushes, all different sizes for different things. Then rinse it off with water and use an air compressor to dry it afterwards or a towel if you don't have one. You will have much better results. I wouldn't let the SG dry on my car without rinsing it off.

Simple green is a degreaser so not crazy about the idea of using it to clean my RC. It'll remove lubrications from bearing if it hits them. yes I understand they are sealed but sealed doesn't mean air tight.

That stuff s awesome it cleans really good sub and like to Mark Santa Maria

I clean my rc’s with the same stuff i use for my Car and atv’s and gokart. Which is Meguires ultimate products like Ultimate wash & wax along with Meguires quick detailer.

i have a new revo 3.3 now only a week or so. i am new to the hobby. any advice?

I just clean it and spray silicon spray on everything other then esc and fan. Bash all day and it just needs a hose off and a respray of silicon spray. I use PB blaster silicon spray the green can.

Could you spray it over the motor or the ESC?

How long does that can last for? Because like almost all spray cans they go quick unlike spray bottles

After you do this do you need to re lube the bearings Also what wd-40 did he mean when he was talking about giving it a spray with wd40, just the normal one?

Hello guys 🙌🏽I need help ...in my city it is rainy season and the track has water and mud... and I want to continue using it...I bring a copperhead 10 waterproof ESC and a castel 1412 3200kv. with sensor but in the place of the sensor I already put dielectric grease.. The question is: can I use it by disconnecting the fan from my ESC? since it says that it is the only thing that is not against water, the ESC fan. what dou you recommend?? I bring a traxxas slash 4x4, can I use it and it doesn't deprogram or have any problems? Obviously after using it, wash it completely and oil it...

another good cleaner is called Greased lightning you can buy it at lowes or home depot for less the $4.00 it doesnt hurt the paint or plastics

Bearings shouldn't have grease on them. Grease collects dirt. You should use a thin bearing oil or any oil really will be fine. You just clean and then oil your bearings at the end 👍🏻 but no grease 🚫

Mark, what is your compressor of choice for cleaning down caked up dirt? Also do you carry a generator to races? How has this been holding up? Any issues with plastics or rubber?

You should try SC1 not many people know about it but it’s awesome it’s like $15 on Amazon but it is really good

Can it clean wheels and tires?

What psi is your compressor. ?

What body is that and would it fit a backslash
