RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

Clean out with baking soda, I bet it will still work fine.

...yeah it actually did work out fine. In fact there was virtually no damage to the plastics or the spring contacts and I use NiMH batteries for the XL2P's anyways. It was just very misleading and I overpaid, and if I'm buying old stuff I only like having new condition. The radio itself is in excellent condition but not a 10 so I can actually use it and display it without worrying about dinging it up so it worked out ok.

On another note, these came... one of the last pieces for my recreation of my childhood RC10L...

Seller's picture but it did show up in the post yesterday, just haven't had time to unbox it yet. The black Tyco Turbo Fast Traxx pick-up was my first "cool" r/c prior to the Futaba FXT. Been keeping my eye open for a fine example at a decent price for a few years, and have passed on a couple good deals prior, but finally pulled the trigger on this quality looking unit.
