Though I have no experience with it, I've heard non-DOT4 brake fluid causes the Lexan to haze and become brittle. This doesn't happen with DOT4?

Someone here should do a simple side-by-side comparison of the effectiveness of nitro fuel & DOT4.

I have an old Green FRP chassis , it was painted by the previous owner. Is there any safe way to strip off the paint without weakening the strength of the FRP & creating scratches ?

Tried custic soda on a beat up nose piece for a test run. Fell asleep watching the tigers game and eight hours later I have what use to be a nose piece . At least the tigers won. Maybee I need to use something less potent.

I found out the hard way that the Castrol Super Clean will take anodizing off. It does work quite well for that purpose.
