CE club-racer project
Hi, this is my RC10CE club racer project.
This is how it was when I received it.
It was in overall good shape, but some parts had to be changed to make it a CE.
And this is the result:
Front parts are still a little yellowish
Last picture, after his first run in my living room
I'm now waiting for a new protech 2 body and a wing from Tower. I hope I can get those parts soon, cause next race is sunday 18.

That's turned out great, what's in the magic bucket

Really hot water, bleaching powder, bleach, soap...I let all white parts in this bucket for a few days. That works very well with slightly yellow parts.
This is the first test I made: those 6 parts have been washed with soap, but only three have soak in the "magic bucket". You can easily see the result:
It works better with thin parts (like wheel)...

Those look great, but I have a question:ra272 wrote:Really hot water, bleaching powder, bleach, soap...I let all white parts in this bucket for a few days. That works very well with slightly yellow parts.

What is "bleaching powder?" Is there a brand name to look for?
Thanks

No but it's the best results I've seen and it made quite a difference to the overall look of the car.ra272 wrote:Well, it's not miraculous, If you watch the test photos, you can see that A arms became whiter but NOT white.
