Rc10GT restoration project

Post by CerBeRusVI »

So I acquired a big box of RC10 stuff from a co-worker that he said he's had for a long time. In the Box was a RC10T and a RC10GT pan chassis. Also a box of misc parts, oils, tires, etc. I've had these for about a year now and finally have gotten to start cleaning them up! I started rewhitening all the white parts on the GT the past few days but I also made a wee bit of a mistake :oops: I had cleaned all the parts and set them in a dish and totally forgot about the white RPM front a-arms and left them in the whitening solution for about an hour before I realized what I did! I had even read not to try and whiten these an hour before hand! DOH!

So I was wondering if there was anyway to help whiten RPM stuff? They aren't bad and look like old faded rpm stuff, but I'd really like them to look a little whiter like all my other parts now.

I'll try and post updates and pictures soon!
UPDATE! Pictures!
Here's a few I took of the little collection i got. Rc10T has a Novak Rooster esc, MIP steering, MIP CVDS, nothing else truly that important that i know of.
RC10gt Came as a pan chassis, i bought a FT chassis but later decided against it in the rebuild. Came with the stock Rtr Dynamite .12? and a OS CZ12Z NIB with a price tag on it. Also an assortment of wheels and tires. Some Losi, Proline and stock AE ones also.

Also a pic of my project SC10GT that started out as a FT RTR. I plan on using a TC5 motor mount and making this brushless!

Did the RPM arms yellow or get chalky?

Lemme upload a pic, but they we're a little yellowed to begin with and the peroxide yellowed them a little bit more.

Boil them in hot distilled water for 20 min or so

Alright, I'll give it a try! My GT came without a body and I'd really like to stick with a original body instead of something like a crowd pleazer, I looked but didn't see if Mr. Lexan made a repop of the GT body, i did see the 10T though
