WOW, that was very well put Professor Dan. Can you recommend (generally) how often one will need to boil the vintage nylon part to keep them sufficiently hydrated and prevent them from effectively disintegrating? Is this something that should be done maybe every 5 years or so??

I think we'll be fine for the most part if we don’t get too carried away. If a part goes chalky it's a sign the material is breaking down.
I was old school - when old school wasn't cool !

Please don't say "carried away" - I'm kinda old.
So chalky means that the material should be re-hydrated? I want my RC10 collection to outlast me - which probably isn't asking much.

Whoa. Never knew people did thistamiyadan wrote: ↑Fri Apr 13, 2018 12:03 pmwhen i lived in Tuscon and raced in Scottsdale with my Rc-10 i boiled the parts once a week when i was getting ready for another race and i was cleaning up the car anyway. it was a good way to inspect everything catching a crack on a hinge point so i could get the car 100%.
I was strictly an on-road guy so I never raced competitively off-road. Just bashed the gold pan in the yard and street.
A bit different

It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas
