Re: Bleaching Green Raider ARR Wheels?

hondaman, thanks again for the link. The Raider rims turned out to be new but faded (as expected). I was able to whiten them with hydrogen peroxide and a few days of suntanning. They are just like a new set and I am mailing them to the buyer now.

Re: Bleaching Green Raider ARR Wheels?

Shawn, not sure how I missed those in my google searching. I think I will preemptively buy them before they're gone while I am checking with the buyer. I will clean and bleach them up first, but hopefully they will be good as new.

Thank you sir!

Bleaching Green Raider ARR Wheels?

I recently sold a new in box Kyosho Raider, and the buyer said it was missing the two front rims. So, I am scrambling to find him a new set. The part# is RD-13 (which includes all 4 rims). As you might imagine, I'm coming up dry. The closest I can find are those green rims (RD-23) for the Raider ARR...

Re: Associated's RC10 Classic

I like the "Made in USA" printed on the Pro-Line tires, as I'm sure will most folks who are in the States.

Re: Intriguing ad in RC Car Action - RC10 re-release?

I wrote up a list of differences between the old and new RC10 parts. I'm running it by the engineer in charge to double-check. I'm hoping I'll be able to post it here when approved. WebSteve, I'm not sure what your position is within Associated Electrics, but I want to sincerely thank you for spend...

New Cat SX - Impressive Parts!

I have never owner a Schumacher product, but I ran across a new Cat SX and decided to get it. I must say - I'm blown away by the high quality of the components. I have no idea how it handles, but the parts are premium! Are all Schumacher buggies like that? IMG_6063r.JPG If I build it, Ill be sure to...

Re: Cleaning up an old friend - Traxas Bullet TRX-10

What a sweet rebuild, I commend you on taking on this project. I always liked the look of the TRX10 Bullet. I watch with interest. Cheers-Jason great job on the restoration. I have some hawk/radicator parts that I have been thinking of converting to a bullet if I can find the chassis cheap enough. ...

I had to look up pictures of the 22. I could see how they might seem similar. Looks like it might be more rigid.

Re: Cleaning up an old friend - Traxas Bullet TRX-10

Same here. I would give serious consideration to buying a Bullet re-release. The rest of the pics are, well, just that. I didn't run into any problems except for certain steps in the instructions that didn't match the accompanying illustrations. Thankfully I had my own pre-teardown photos as a refer...
