Well, judging by the amount of cleaning your gonna be doing. I'll go ahead and recommend a ultrasonic cleaner. I bought one the other day from harbor freight for $30. I'm literally just dropping dirty parts w/o any cleaning and pulling them out a few minutes later nice and clean. Really helps get stuff out of hard to clean places.

I have lots of new hardware coming for this and a new front worlds tower. Also came with a Novak HP1 speed control and a Trinity Joel Johnson signature series mod motor.

Two words: SUPER CLEAN :lol:

Can't beat that stuff with a stiff toothbrush and pipe cleaner.

Parts are now soaking in simple green and im looking at getting an ultrasonic cleaner. Need to find a good noseplate as this one is pretty bent.

Im going to re-do the chassis and nose in satin black epoxy paint so it should look really good.
