Picked this RC10 worlds up super cheap. Its really dirty and needs a few things which i have on there way to me.

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 been thinking about picking up one of those.

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.

What is caked up in that chassis? It really looks nasty!

[mikea96]

Im not sure but it is sticky and has dog hair stuck in it. It comes off easily with soap and water though!

[jwscab]

my bet is a spilled soda.

looks like it's got some potential. good luck!

Two words: SUPER CLEAN

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.

So good to see these neglected RC10's being cleaned/restored and appreciated. Good luck on your build.

Got the nose plate back into shape so im good now. Just waiting on parts to arrive.

Can't wait to see this one done.

[mikea96]

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

[mikea96]

The parts are cleaning up great!
