i merged your 2 topics together. there's no need to start a new thread every time you do something to your car. just update the original one.

Well to be honest its all i had and i dont run nitro anymore so i thought what the hell.
as for the chassis ect its a tin of silver hammerite yes hammerite thought well as its only going to be a runner should be ok.
Ive only ever restored a egress before but that was just changing parts new shell ect nowt like this before.
The shell has been the most trickest as the underside had 3 couat red yellow and dlack round the windows.
On the top side yes god knows why was a thick red.
As you can see from the pics i just can not get all the black off and one of the windows is coming away at the top,so i think best to stop cleaning it there.
I prob will paint it white with wht windows in black or just buy a repo.
One other good thing came out of it i got a losi in the post this morning(pics also coming)and its for my son to use as a truck and the wheels(not truck ones) fit the rc10 perfect so i dont have to buy any now.
Personly i think it looks 100% better than when i got it.
Thanks for your welcome and comments :lol:

I think it's looking great, I think most of us thought that you had de-annodized the chassis
