MMMMM... ...DONUTS!

... Just remembered I can use PS-55 Flat Clear on the outside of the black panels, to give them the matte/flat finish, and use PS-5 black for everything inside the body. There ya go, that's perfect. Good plan!! You can use the overspray film as masking. I've done that many times and it works great....

The film is soft and extremely thin so merely the weight of the knife is enough to score through it.
It's a delicate process but the results are worth the effort. You're able to add very fine, high quality painted details to the exterior of the body without the hassles associated with masking tape.

After reading your previous post, I went back and had a closer look. My truck has two left arms. :( I could try to find a right arm but I can't be bothered. I'll just make a shallow notch so both sides have the same droop. I probably have an extra right arm, if that's the same as the GT or the T2. ...

The chassis parts and motor plate look fantastic!

Pardon me, I'll need to avert my eyes while you drop those nice white nylon parts in the dye (so you won't see me cry).

The project is coming along nicely.

Don't give up on the towers early, it's not uncommon for them to take 15-20 minutes at a near boil.

Dave Geitner on facebook sells them, and TeamKNK sells them on their site as well. Really nice screws, $1 a pop.

Got the bearing kit, and was going to get started on the rebuild. Looking at the white plastics, I have yellowing in some places more than others. https://i.imgur.com/6jbQK0P.jpg I would like these to be shiny and fresh again. https://i.imgur.com/QjJnncq.jpg But I hear about the hydrogen peroxide p...

... In many of my past projects, I never learn to leave well enough alone, I inevitably found one spot to fixate on, then in an attempt to fix that one tiny little spot, I ruin the project, or make it worse somehow. ... Oh wow, that sounds like me. :? I think it's common to find some variation in t...

FWIW, I like my 40th just as it is. The nylon is nice and white, the anno is brilliant gold/orange and the zinc and black oxide plated parts look good as well. The rest of my RC10 collection is old, the anno is faded and the nylon looks dingy by comparison and some of them have been peroxide treated...

Beautiful prep work!

Can't wait to see it with some color.

Oh man, this is gonna be good.

Well, best I can do is 25 degree castor blocks with some shims under the ball stud to bring the links parallel - or closer to it. This setup will be placeholders until I can source the proper ones. I want to keep the project moving forward. Built the shocks today so the chassis is nearly finished. T...

I personally have not had a problem with using 3% peroxide, this regular stuff for cuts. I would leave it in a glass jar for a day or two in the sun. None of the parts got brittle or chalky, I do however fully soak the parts in water first so that if there is any material to wick into the nylon it ...
