Nope. The only thing magic eraser seems to do is perplex the wife where am I going with a magic eraser and whyTHEYTOOKMYTHUMB wrote:Mr. Clean Magic Eraser Sponge. I've never used it on ano'd material, but I doubt it will hurt it. Cleans about anything.

On a side note, the admins will be happy to hear that I've learned that I can quote two posts in one reply.

Toothpaste is about the finest (least gritty) polish, but if the Magic Eraser didn't work then I doubt toothpaste will do any good. Well, other than keeping it minty fresh.jon burrows wrote:This I'm a little worried about because of scratching but I'm willing to try anything.RC104ever wrote:I used comet with great results on one chassis.

Re: a project...finally!
I say save the og tires, put some moderns on there and run that bad girl, in my honest opinion unless it came rite out of a box and was built with in the two day rule its not a queen,im not in ANY WAY saying that you dont have a good looking girl there, but you know deep down inside you want to see that girl spinning the tires , beating the moderns buggys at the track getting all those thats bad ass comments at the track have fun! let it bring that kid out
my spelling not so good! but i can DRIVE the wheels off anything!

Re: a project...finally!
well put!
It's no queen by any means. I have 5 more lined up, that I plan to make a modern runner out of one of them.
The truth is that I really don't have a desire to run em' anymore. I do love wrenching' though. Weird. I think it's just a phase though. That's probably all gonna change when I do decide to put a battery in it.

Re: a project...finally!
No reason to run that. Get a beater or a modern and run that. Or you could always go with my method: just look at the pretty pictures of old stuff and only run modern. That's far prettier than anything I own.jon burrows wrote: well put!

Re: a project...finally!
i dont know about that last sentence thumbs, ive seen your compilation . a little modesty never hurt anybody...
i agree, running the modern stuff is a better route, i cant see scratching this tub any more than it is. i have a b4.1 that i ran about 2x, nope 3x. but it was more fun watching my son trying to drive it, even at full speed into the curb.
Finally Finished. Question is: body or nekid? paint or clear? aargh!!!!!
gotta add the artsy fartsy shot...

Well he said it was art... you know how those artists are.Asso_man! wrote:Nice resto there! Please flip over the front left wheel
My only opinion on the body is don't leave it clear whatever you choose. I hate that look personally. No body is fine too though.

Re: a project...finally!
Nice clean example of an original RC-10 that you would see tearing up the tracks back in the mid 80s.
Re: a project...finally!
Looks very nice. My first restoration was painted as a Box Art car, on the second one I mounted a body but left it clear so you can admnire the chassis
