just in case anybody is ever wondering, paint stripper works fine. i left it soaking for quite some time and the anodising was totally unspoiled. the pan ended up looking like cr*p but at least the anodising wasn't spoiled

Cheers for the nice comments..
It is a LOVELY car - very pretty in the way that an RC10 is perhaps not..
As a racer at heart though - racing cars are what I collect, not these pretty, but probably more desirable cars.
Alright, just like the Javelin (that I haven't bought yet, but still lust after, and the Avante which is the same situation) I really like the YZ10. It's so mean and hunkered down looking, and I can't stop staring at the shelfer that William has for...

there's not much of that original car left......just pretty much the diff pulleys and bulkheads right? :lol:
I can see this thread falling into the either in front of my eyes but that's OK. I thought I would start a DSLR thread as I am considering moving from my 35mm EOS to my first digital a 400D. If anyone has an opinion I would be interested, my budget...

Thanks Mel... those are a couple years old now as most of my newer stuff is on CD.... that was all I had on my hard drive. The Maseratis are from the Monterey Historics in 2003. That year was the Ford 100 Year Anv. and Ford was the marquee. Being a...

whats a stock servo to you? futaba 3003, yes it's faster then that, a 3003 can't even move the tires when parked.
i had the cpe servo in my 1/8 buggy and it was slow, it was even slower in my clod. it works and it's tough but don't expect too much.
Let me start by saying the $ amount im complaining about is small. Its more about doing the right thing!
I recently bought two different bike parts on ebay. Both were BIN items. When I went to pay for the parts I realized the payment went to the...

I just got this Kyosho Slingshot, and I was wondering what the best shell would be for it?

Hi guys and gals , I need people's views on something .
I just found a broken tooth on one of my Ayk Bobcats diff gears , it's just one half broken tooth on one of the plastic sun gears or the gear that is fixed to the out drive .
So I duly tracked...

It's open , it's from 1985 , I don't think sealed diffs existed back then but I'm often wrong :oops: , I can grease it but there's no way of trapping the grease or an oil in place , the gears are exactly the same and mesh well together so I think we...
