Yea I have an idea... remove all electronics, bearings, and drive train and let the dish washer have a crack at it. Use dish washing soap to wash it, and after you finish, wipe the dirt inside of the washer out then run one cycle without dishes just to clean out the washer. I do this when I want to sell old R/C's on eBay, and it works well. Check out item #110483439110 that sold last week and item #110489583919 on sale now on my wife's eBay store.
