Congratulations!!
Well, she's a bit rough now but with a little work, she'll be in fine order.
Looks like it has a Stealth, Andy's arms and a full bumper protecting the front of the graphite chassis plate -- that's where they'll typically begin to de-laminate if not protected.
Short shocks and that rear body mount suggests that it's spent time on the oval.
Anyway, please post more pics when the car arrives.

Hi Doug, some other pics before the travel
we will see all the work's to do when the car will be at home

Okay, I guess those are RPM arms, bumper, ball cups, etc.
Chassis plate looks solid.
What do you have planned for her?

that's nice little array of aftermarket goodies. A&L rack, tecnacraft turnbuckles, robinson spindles, all rpm suspension, trinity shocks, durtrax/cc/etc graphite chassis.

half of a macallister lowering kit and early MIP CVD's as well.....

that's one of those 'rc10s' that is barely any associated parts.

Hi All, so what's the best way for me now?
washed all parts and passed all nylon parts in hot water?
and after? try to go to black color on all pink/purple parts?

tell me what do you thin about that?

That's a lot of pink. I, personally, would dye all of it black. Not a fan of pink, except maybe as a contrasting color on a body.

ok , some other opinion?

[XLR8]

Well you could proceed with the clean-up and rebuild, fit a body and wing, then decide if it's too much pink. If you decide to change the color, unfortunately your choices are limited to re-dying in a darker color (perhaps, if not black,then red, blue or tan might work) or simply replace the parts. I don't believe anyone has successfully removed dye from nylon parts. Also, you can paint the parts but it likely will scratch easily and generally won't be very durable.

I’d go with a full clean up first and see how it looks. Maybe better to embrace the pink as to change it you’ll be doing a lot of work.
