Got a lot done this weekend and some nice parts :)

Anyone know how to get the ugly off that motor?

Image

Still looking for a gear base cover. I got outbid $0.50 in the last 5 seconds of the one KSK linked :evil: :evil: :roll:

Image

Should have a new set of red Kyosho shocks by the end of the week. :D

Image

Got my TBG parts last week.

These cost me a small fortune, but it is what I wanted......so glad tire shopping is DONE!

What do you guys use on your tires to preserve them? I would like to get a white marker also and highlight the lettering, that would look nice.

What is that "ugly", rust? If so, you could dip a wadded-up piece of aluminum foil in a bowl of Coca-Cola and rub most of that rust off. I'd probably tape off the motor sticker first so as not to scratch it. Just be sure to hold the motor in such a way that the Coke will drip down and away from the motor, not into it.

I would just toss it and put a clean 240S or 480T on there, again that's just me.

Me too...I'm not a fan of the sealed-can 360ST. Put in a 360 Gold. 8)

Well, this one will have to do for now. Since it is for the shelf, I am more concerned about looks than performance. The motor runs great it just has a little rust going on. I never heard of the aluminum foil/coca~cola trick before. You just mix it up and dip the rusty part down in it? I know Kyosho made these motors in various colors, I would like to find a green one someday :)

The aluminum foil dipped in Coke trick I learned from a vintage drum forum I used to frequent, it's about the best, cheapest way to remove rust from chrome-plated steel. My initial reaction was also "are you kidding?" but I found people who restored vintage bicycles recommending the same trick, and finally tried it out for myself. The foil is harder than the rust but not as hard as chrome, and the acids in Coke break down rust safely & easily. Put the two together and you'll take rust off of chrome with less effort than pretty much anything else I've tried...and probably already have the materials in your kitchen & fridge. 8)

EDIT: You can substitute vinegar if you're out of Coke.

Ok so to remove rust just need Coke and Aluminum foil? I've been doing it the hard way or no way it all. The parts that I have are steel, I imagine that will still work?

Tape off your sticker. Give a part of the steel can a test-scrub to be sure it doesn't scratch; it shouldn't, but test it first. If it looks okay with no hazing or scratching, do the rusty parts. If you want to try something more gentle, use an old toothbrush and Coke/vinegar first. Let us know how it works.

Actually I don't need to worry about anything, just spraying with WD-40 right now. You can see where the rust is, I would love to replace them but a good cleaning will do.

Looking great TM!
Sure has come a long way from your 1st post, great job!
Although it would be great to just chuck old parts and replace with new, it's also nice to see somebody use what they have and turn out a nice car.
