Lennard, it would be cool if you came back to the forum. We would love to know more about how and what you did to those magnesium and chassis parts. For me, I would like to know about the magnesium resto, they are by far the nicest I've seen.

they look like they were polished with a felt bob on a dremel. maybe beadblasted or mini wire-wheeled first, then just used a pointed felt bob and polishing compound. takes awhile.

When you guys clean the parts and chassis, what cleaning solutions do you use to get that old grime off?

Last post

no particular order:

simple green in a jar for plastic parts, throw them in for a day or so. will also work on bearings and anything steel, but NO aluminum. scrub with old toothbrush, and pipe cleaners for small spots, then rinse and let dry....

What is the thought process on wether or not you chose to restore a car? I recently picked up a nice RC10 of ebay(from lexus-5) and it has alot of cool rare parts, and is very nice condition. If doing a shelf queen do you typically source NIP parts,...

I guess I should take the same approach with rc cars as I do with my real cars. Build them nice enough to show on occasion, and enjoy running/driving them. If it breaks, oh well that's why there's tools! :lol:

I have been working the past couple of weeks off and on cleaning up and repairing an RC10 that my brother-in-law had originally gotten in the mid 80's. It was in pieces in boxes in his attic, but luckily most all the parts were there. I ordered a...

Well, I have always wanted to get myself an XX-4, it is just such an iconic buggy in my eyes, and I love being different , so it's unique design has always attracted my attention.
Recently, I was at a flea market, and stumbled across an older...

Last post

If you are going to try and run it, find some belts. The rear likes to disintegrate just sitting around. The middle isn't too bad, front is usually ok.

I love my XX4s, Street Weapons and Rally Weapons, all around great cars.

My own XX4 resto...

I have been in and out of RC for 30 years now. Kind of the Classic RC story. My first cars were the Frog, the Hornet, and then the beloved RC10. I got the RC10 for my 13th birthday Jan 1985. The old man had it on order from the local Hobby Shop. I...

Thats awesome! I'm always going past garage sales hopeing to find a good quality RC car that the garage-saler is dying to get rid of. It hasn't happened for me yet! Good find!

The diff out drives on my Stealth trans are a little oxidized. Can you all share some of the best ways to clean and restore them. I was considering using metal polish but I am a little hesitant.

Last post

If mine are new, I soak a rag with WD-40, and wipe away all oxidation, if they are for runner's, same idea, only with a 3m scuff pad.

All credit to you for keeping this original. If there are any non-original parts in it, I guess they could be swapped out over the years as you find the originals :wink:

Hey Folks - I am a new member, but have been reading the forum over the past few months! Good stuff! Thanks to this forum, I have just fully restored an Edinger RC10. Thought that I would share a few pics

Thx!

Last post

nice work, bodywise, not that hard to do it yourself (see my boxart)

Thanks, Loftfind. I looked up your box art. Very nice - love the Orange! Also, love your Schumacher and the old COX Scorpion(s). Old school!
