Re: Your top Three Vintage Keepers (by manufacturer)

Oh that is a tough question and one I may have to potentially contemplate in the near future…but I have the collection split into shelf queens that I would find hard to let go and a lot of basket cases that could go tomorrow…if I wasn’t attempting to restore every single basket case I came across! S...

Re: Rebuilt a classic inferno. Needs fuel tank.

Hi Noopy, I am sending you a PM.

P.S. if it is, you have to post some pictures of your project, can’t just drop in for parts :) sorry, it’s the rules.

Re: Winter Budget Beater RC10EGT

quick question on the peroxide bath. What is the ratio of water to 40 developer? Roughly how long do you let them sit? Thanks! Apologies for the delayed response sir, was away on a much needed vacation to the middle of the pacific :D No water, strictly used straight up peroxide in a clear container...

Re: Winter Budget Beater RC10EGT

Well this is as far as I can make it for the most part and now I start the process of securing missing parts but pretty pleased how it cleaned up. I think the front shock pistons are the wrong length but have some research to do.

Re: Winter Budget Beater RC10EGT

Just a note for myself but the diff assembly is missing some pieces, thrust bearing and the correct torque control spring.

Re: Winter Budget Beater RC10EGT

Started on the stealth assembly, I won’t apply any lube until I figure out if this thing is going to run or just hit the shelf. The gearbox was also missing some pieces around the slipper assembly so I am digging through bins of screws, washers etc

Re: Winter Budget Beater RC10EGT

The peroxide bath seems to have done the trick. Not mint but way better than how they started out. Cleaned in warm water with a toothbrush and dish soap before dunking in hi-test 40 volume peroxide.

Re: Winter Budget Beater RC10EGT

Some parts I left in the peroxide bath but these were white enough at least in my humble opinion for this project to start throwing the front together.

Re: Winter Budget Beater RC10EGT

Completed a hardware swap to the correct front tower. Gave everything a good scrub and although the tower was a used one laying around, it is the correct ‘thick’ version and appears to have cleaned up pretty well.

Re: Winter Budget Beater RC10EGT

While I scrub and peroxide bathe a lot of the main white parts, thought I would start with rebuilding what I could for the time being. Started with the steering assembly, ditched the one piece rpm link and found a missing piece. There was no lower bushing on the steering and have you ever had one of...

Re: Winter Budget Beater RC10EGT

Started off with a soap and water bath and scrub with a toothbrush for the chassis and nose plate. Not sure if you can see it in the pre disassemble pics, there was a layer of foam padding under the gas tank; where it must have soaked up a lot of nitro fuel hence the discolouration. I am a little to...
