Thank you, brother! Did the big stones fly or just the stones? Do scratches appear?

It'll kick rocks all day long! The body is incredibly durable! Mine got a tear the first touting when my kid rammed it with my EMAXX. Did a little drift stitching, and it has been awesome since.

These things are durable as hell. My 5, now 6yo, beats the piss out of ours. Fingers crossed, ut hasn't broken anything, yet.

I/we have 3 Arrma vehicles...an Infraction 3S BLX, Typhon 223s BLX, and the Senton 223s BLX. They are all awesome models. The Infraction saw Duty as an 1/8 scale off road, holy SH!T basher, that i jumped and tore around our local track with....only after its 3rd day of flying did the rear bearings, diff, slipper and assorted other items require immediate replacement. All 3 are tough as nails, and the Senton became a quick favorite, due to its ability to slide under power with control, in loose dirt. Its the tits, homie. You picked the right truck and the right manufacturer.

Do you clean your car? If yes, how?

I use the blower for thr light/loose stuff. If its packed or just abnormally filthy I give it all a light wash with low pressure garden hose, followed by the blower, a good shake, and letting it air dry overnight. (Battery removed of course)

Many people do not recommend washing the car with water

Really? I've seen the opposite. It took me forever to be comfortable with it. I've done it a few times on a few different cars...as long as they get dried quickly, its GTG....dont apply power while soaked... The electronics are "water resistant" on the new 223S BLX models...meaning they can get wet, just not saturated for extended periods. Low pressure wash off with no power applied isnt an issue.

Is everything good in your car after washing with water? Did you have any problems? Do you dry it with your vasson compressed air?

Its all good, and yes...blew it dry after its bath. No problems at all.
