Thanks Tamiyadan for the feedback as well. You have a good point on the restoration sprial and I will keep that in mind. If I can get this to a functional vehicle, albeit not perfect, that will still be a fun project. To your point, I certainly don't want to invest gobs of money on a clunker. I just...

Does the bag contain all of the parts that are missing from the chassis? By the looks of it you've got the very hard to find side chassis extenders, so that's one good thing. Keep in mind that a gas car will need cut-outs in the body to keep the engine cool. Be careful to only buy GP Spider Mk. I p...

I picked up a very rough Kyosho Daytona that I intend to try and revive. Planning to try and strip the paint on both sides of the body using Dot 4 brake fluid. If anyone has any other suggestions on paint removal, let me know. This is my first venture into nitro also, so that should be a new challen...

Thanks for the welcome. Here are my first projects that I will be working on in the near future.

Nice pair!

I'll be giving this a try on my first two RC10s that I am planning to tear down and restore. Thanks to the OP and for the other feedback throughout this thread, super helpful!

I recently purchased an RC10 and RC10T, both with original boxes. Planning to strip these down for a good cleaning, and restoration. The gold pan most likely will end up in my office with a vintage Futaba stick radio for a nice display piece. http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/a628/Dmtonne/e4fdbad1...

We could never afford the cool RCs when I was a kid, so after a few years of being in RC I have finally started looking for some of those oldies. Looking forward to joining this forum!
