Hello, sorry for my poor english...

I have tested "eau écarlate" bleaching powder. All parts have been washed with soap and hot water. The three whiter parts have boil half an hour with bleaching powder and soap and I let the part in for the night.

It works very well on the wheel.

I have always had good luck with Simple Green, I have some Castrol Super Clean but have never tried it on rc parts, I have used it on my travel trailer to remove black streaks with good results BUT IF LEFT ON GLASS FOR A LONG TIME IT WILL MAKE IT FOGGY. I would like to see how the parts look after they come out of the vibratory tumbler I have some experience with this on larger parts steal and aluminum but it rounds the edges off and makes it dull looking.

Jay, here is the one I got:

It was actually on sale when I got it, hence the price discrepancy.

More like, wear a HAZMAT suit. Between the Toluene and the MEK, I donno which is worse...


That's ok, three-headed babies are cool, and can make you money in the side show. :D
Yeah, but I find the extra eye is useful LOL! I am not far from Gibsonton, FL where many of the Ringling Brothers carneys live. If you ever pass the Showtime Bar on US41, stop in... you might catch the bearded lady drunk and ready for action.
I used to live on US41 north of the Bay. Don't remember the showtime, but there was a carney park right down the road.

Head south on 41 passed the boatramp, Showtime is on the left. You ever check the races out at East Bay?

No, unfortunately I wasn't doing much R/C at the time. The only hobby shop I ever went to while I lived in FL was one on US19 a little south of Spring Hill, don't remember the name of it, but I sold one of my GT's to a guy that worked there.

Do you know Minreg, Bayside hobbies, or Dave Crescenzi by any chance? Ever race at Farmers?

East Bay runs 1:1 sprints, among others. The only shop I know of on US19 is House of Hobby in the New Port Ritchey area. I'm slowly getting to know the owner and he is slowly bringing out old stock. I think he is sizing me up to find out if I plan to turn parts for profit.

Don't know those guys. I ran a few times out at Sherriff's Posse Ranch on Dale Mabry. Raced BMX there too. Also another non-sanctioned track (carpet too) on Waters, Hahn's Hobby. Both are in the Tampa area. Where is Farmers?
