i will try oven cleaner if i get nowhere, stupid vintage traxxas quality (notice i say vintage)

I had the same frustrations with some wheels that I got from a buddy for my Turbo Optima. It looked like there were coats of gold paint on them, but it turned out there were also coats of silver beneath the gold. Easy-Off worked better than the acetone, but it took a few days of spraying, letting them sit 12h, brushing off what I could with a toothbrush, re-spraying and letting them sit another 12h...so if you're not getting the results with acetone, use Easy-Off heavy duty oven cleaner (as was recommended to me, the one with the yellow cap). Good luck!

yeah we shall see

now heres a curve ball any recomendations on aluminum rims? i mean i could polish those suckrs up and make um look almost as good as crome. besides if nothing else itll stop the car from poping wheelies when i do ocasionaly drive the thing

found these, all i should need to do is change spindles up front and do some dicking around with the rear axles, although at 50 bucks id rather look elsewhere

and actualy in a turn of luck a number of the parts listed on that site for the nitro rusty will work on my srt and nitro hawk so win win

double post, oh snap

let it sit all day and i just got in from scraping at it with a green scrub pad and it started coming up real nice, just need to pick at it with a tooth pick or something in between the faux nuts

Use a needle, I had to do that too...Turbo Optima wheels with their little faux-holes-resembling-reverse-nuts and normal Optima wheels with their faux-rivets.

cool, thanks, i imagine a tooth pick might fail fter a few scraps

alright, got um done today, i was looking at a set of tecnacraft blackfoot rims, they need to be polised but i may jump on them if i can move all the crap ive got fs on here and ultimaterc

edit: pics up

May I have a full set of nice set of chromed wheels. PM me if they can be interresting.
