What I started with.

Karnak Karna-Klean asphalt & tar remover. Should be able to find it at larger home improvement stores. I use it to remove roofing and road tar from my truck and other equipment, along with the occasional ooops on vinyl siding, and haven't damaged my paint or the siding. http://www.karnakcorp.com...

Didn't have any nitro laying around so I decided to try some orange cleaner we use at work, I had great results I think. Plus the house smelled like an orange grove for a day or two. :D And only used $2 worth of cleaner. Pics don't really do it justice. But paint is totally gone, body not cloudy or ...

The learning curve begins........ Postman brought my EBay booty today and I'm finding out not all parts are the same parts. lol Apparently Bulkhead #6323 came in a few versions. I need the 1 with the ball end holes under the wing tubes (4 bumps in battery cup) and got the one with no holes under the...

OK, lets see if I have this right; the 6036 box art is the same as the the 6030 (Protech II) #10), but it came with the Viper body? I haven't been able to find a 6036 manual, does it show the same body and paint as the 6035 (Viper) #4) manual? Guess where this might be going? :D Ever hear of a manua...

Well I won an auction and am awaiting the parts arrival (you guys didn't warn me about this waiting part :D ) So hopefully I'll get some positive feedback and can send messages on eBay. So I can get BST access, so I can buy more parts, so I can sell leftover parts, so I can buy more parts, so I can ...

WOW you guys aren't kidding when you call it crack-bay. lol Wife said I have to start using my own account for this. Well she did tell me to use it....... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=120165143946&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=002 so i got this for the battery...

Once again thanks to everyone. I'm going to try to take it back to factory condtion. I know I need the white wide front A-arms, white servo mounts, white battery cup, and the bulkhead has been chopped up a bit, what color motor/tranny plate gold or black? And what body and rims/tires?

Tamiya #58148 Lola T94/00 Honda (F103-L) Runs and seems very fast. Body paint is flaking off and tires are pretty rough, but the rest seems mint and stock. Any tips for body paint removal?

Moderators, Should have I posted this in readers rides? If so will u pls move it?

BTW, white battery cup was hacked before I got it

Thank You everyone!! Hope no one cringes when I tell you I know it runs, ripped all over the neighborhood, went thru 2 batteries and charged them once again, and in 4 runs I thought it was pretty quick, and tough. (Heres the cringe warning) Caught the driveway lip from the street and sent it cartwhe...
