Could someone school me on what would be period correct tires, or an acceptable alternative. From the first 25 years of the rc10 thread, it looks like the one that came with it are aftermarket (jellybean?). BTW, the rears says Champion Pro Line.
Thanks

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser Sponge. I've never used it on ano'd material, but I doubt it will hurt it. Cleans about anything. :wink:
