That should clean up nicely. The steering and axles are a cool twist on this setup.

looks good man! I debated pretty heavily on making mine a 10t but I just couldn't let those trailing arms go to waste

Got it all stripped down and cleaned. I washed everything b with super clean and gave the chassis a rub down with some olive oil

Next is to give those wheels a bit of a cleaning. They have quite a bit of scuffs and a ton of excess glue on them, I'm going to try the acetone approach and see what happens

Thanks! So far so good, I wish I knew what axles they were so I could find some replacement shafts.

The wheels are cleaning up really well. A bit of sand paper and A LOT of elbow grease goes along way

Nice!
If you want to get rid of that pesky MIP trans, I'll get rid of it for you!

Nice chassis there. Rear axles are Raborn, good luck finding spares...

This cleans up nicely.
Me too - really liked the SP1, slider axles, trailing arm and steering rack combo! And a pro racer... such a desirable car

That did clean up nice - looks great! I used the MIP trans on my Andy's builds as well. I think it's the perfect match for the Pro Race setup.
