Lighter fluid will release the servo tape.

Yeah, lighter fluid/naphtha is good for removing & cleaning a lot of things besides old tape..and doesn’t attack plastics.

I think you should keep it original as well..

I have only used the Bob Dively mask…it’s good stuff.

Bitty design works good but only with water based paints. Chemical based paint seem to react with it and it doesn't peel off then. Proline is also very easy to work with but I have only used it with water base paint as well.

I dislike MSC. They are better than nothing, but no one wanted to run one.

Thanks! Looks like it's sold out everywhere, possibly out of production.

It is out of production. The factory literally burned down.

WD40 also works well for removing sticky servo tape and other residue.

I would use the Rooster since it's still period correct. If you had an early 6 gear non-CE then I can see using a msc. By the mid 90's esc's were extremely common and affordable.

absolutely not Spaz Stix unless you enjoy pain and suffering.

Also most airbrush paints for rc bodies are waterbased Acrylic. It's the spray cans you need to worry about.

I’m going Rooster, that’s what’s going in mine as well.
Oh and install bearings while you got it torn down if it doesn’t already have them. This way it’ll roll nicely on the shelf
You can use the bushings for what they’re good for….
Spacers for house projects

If using the Rooster, I'd verify body clearance first. It is rather bulky compared to many other esc's. I typically use them in trucks.

The Proline stuff sprays on nicer and peels way easier than the bitty design.

I spray it on with a mini hvlp touchup gun.

Let's see it with the bus body!

Wow, I didn’t know that.. guess I need to find a replacement when my bottles are finished.
