The bearings are fine. I'm gonna assume you got the Worlds re-release kit, so you should probably ended up with 4 extra 3/16x3/8 bearings.

I really liked those gold AE shock bottles.... I wish I had kept a few.

The RC10 Van looks so cute between the Nitro Crushers... like Chicken Hawk from looney Tunes...!

Rebuild's coming along quick... lookin' good.

Looks like you buy like I do...

Them: "How many would you like?"
Me: "How many do you have??"

Almost there, looking really good. Nice to see you had and have installed the stock spring adjustment collars

For the rust, you could soak them in CLR for a day, rinse off, and re-blue them with Beechwood. If you soak them in CLR with a bunch of other blued parts (like the screws, dogbones, rear stub axles), you might get the re-bluing and rust removal in the same step with just the CLR.

I noticed you have an oscilloscope I miss those from my military and electronics repair days. I calibrated them for the Air Force back when my Top CAT was a "new" buggy. Good fun!

I use the Birchwood gun bluing on steel. The brass black might not work on steel. But using CLR with other blued steel does tend to share the bluing.

I'd get a bit of practice with blueing one something you don't care about , there's kind of an art to getting it right that might not come first time , small parts are easier though but you need to do each layer in one go or it gets blotchy .

Marantz Awesome stuff.

I still have my old Carver amp I bought new and a Carver pre-amp I picked up from a local collector. With my hearing, I could probably do just as well with something from Walmart but I like having old stuff that still works.

Nope the trucks never came with wing mounts.

Regardless of brand, I use Tamiya AW grease on all my CVD's. It looks to be a moly-graphite type grease, similar to CRC assembly lube (but thicker).

parts are starting to show up on the AE website, white ball ends (thanks Scr8p) and now the protech body is back as well
