There is a guy pumping out those protechs with the faskolor flame techniques. I bought a red/black/white one a couple weeks ago. I have seen 2-3 others floating around on this board most likely painted by the same person.

Your car is a late rc10ce noted by the gold pan and stealth trans. They are bushing cars out of the box. HPI wheels and pro-tech batt strap are a plus Looks like a really clean car too, nice score!

[WillyThickfoot]

Thanks for the info and the compliment.HPI wheels you say?I am looking for new rims and and would like to know what makes of rim would would fit this car without adapters?

B4 front wheels will work with a 1/16" washer. The rears you'll have to convert (B4 hubs & B44 cvd) to get the rears to work.

Are they alloy ? Maybe some Mothers aluminum polish.

[WillyThickfoot]

Yes they are and thanks. Does that clean them too or do I need to use something else before polishing.Sorry for sounding like a boob but i have never polished aluminum in my life I have used progresivley finer sand paper to repair and shine up the links on my Clod crawlers but never polished good alum.Thanks again

Start by cleaning them good with some glass cleaner. Polish does better for some reason if you do this first. Use a good polish, like the Mother's liquid. I like Smithbrite myself. When applying, use a cotton ball, wipe clean with terry cloth. To protect the shine follow up with some automotive wax.

I have nothin to do today so I believe I will give it a shot.Will post my results later.


Thanks, Dave
