i might very well be wrong...can't remember where i saw that at...the BEC.

Thanks I am in absolute RC heaven at this point. Just started stripping paint from this one. It is painted inside and out! Just need to collect a few more... Big Brute, Striker and of course the old grasshopper.

Very cool collection. I thought you might appreciate what I ran across the other day.... I am all nostalgia these days after my recent RC acquisition. Any idea how these two might match up to the old Trinity Monster Horsepower motors? http://www.picvalley.net/u/2847/139413152639768878513358471811f1e...

Found this beast in a lot of RC cars I purchased. Have not got a chance to start working on it yet, but couldn't wait to show it off any longer. If anyone has info on this please add it. Just read that a BEC kit was sold and can be ascertained by the shock colors. From the pic can anyone tell if thi...

My control arms are tarnished quite badly and I plan on cleaning this car soon. I am wondering a safe way to make these suspension parts nice and white again, without compromising the integrity of the material. I know someone will have some excellent ideas. I have been cleaning up my Monster Beetle ...

had one and the dog bones were forever falling out of it. Have to add that this was prob my best RC car from my childhood. I think the kits were around $119 back in the day.

Mine was definitely brush on...I could see the brush strokes.

Maybe it was the paint type I was tring to strip?? hmmmm.

paint type would be my guess. Is it DOT3?

Not completely finished, but close.... stickers say Parma Tiger

Thanks for info guys.

P.S. DOT 3 working great, but as stated little slow. Will post pic when she is done.

Thanks for suggestions. Have some Dot 3...will try it first. Doesn't work will try some simple green.

Thanks for info on body. Do I have the TQ10 or RC10 or what: http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=26692

Was the TQ10 simply a graphics change form the RC10?

That is a VERY nice wing...body is awesome too!

This was my most prized RC car and I must say the most disappointing. Front knuckle arm after from knuckle arm broke again and again. Always stripped out. I did love it though.

The Le Mans 05 wasn't bad though.

Please help me figure out how to get the paint off of this body without destroying it in the process. Painted on inside.

P.S. Is this an original RC10 body?

LMAO! I was just thinking I needed to say to you or edit my post that it IS a VERY NICE WING!

I have learned recently there were different versions of this car. Just wondering what version I have got here. It has a KO Propo with old school ESC mated with a brushed Twister motor. The car is really slow compared to what I remember them being. My friend had one back in the day and it was simply...
