I've been gathering RPM parts for a while now. I have a used 91 worlds front end kit and cleaned it up with super clean and everything was great. I took a yellowed 10t front bulkhead and did the peroxide bath and all went well. I tend to get sidetracked on alot of projects, so i usually bag parts up in small bags to keep things orginized. I put the RPM arms in a bag with the front bulkhead that was soaked in peroxide and was stored like that for about 2 weeks. I went tonight to get them out and i noticed the arms turned a greenish color . Is there anything that can be done to restore the original color?
If things seem under control, you are just not going fast enough.
as a test, i put a used white rpm front bumper in the peroxide with all of my associated white parts. it didn't take long for it to turn a pretty shade of pickle juice. i've had it just sitting around for the last couple weeks, and the green shade is pretty much gone now.
so more or less, just let them sit around in the air for awhile and see what happens.........
I purchased a I purchased a TrackStar 120A Gen II ESC that I have tried to install. But I can't get throe the whole installation sequence, so I need your help guys! This is my first brushless system... :oops:

I don't think anybody here knew you were using a stick transmitter. :shock:
So I read the forum about the hydrogen peroxide trick and it seemed to work really well. I read the whole forum but it seems that it didn’t answer the question... Does it actually work? I saw that it makes the parts super white but does it also make...

Not to hijack the thread but I am going to peroxide my first set of parts this weekend and I was wondering if I am whitening wheels do I need to remove the glued tires first?
I hear you can fume off CA glued tires with acetone. Put some acetone...
Hey guys I have been a member here for a while and dont post a whole lot but enjoy restoring and collecting RC10s just the same. My qustion is how long should you wait to reassemble the whitened plastics on the chassis. The reason I ask is because...

Just out of curiosity, what is the process for using peroxide? Just soak? If so, how long?
Do a search in the forum, there is a whole post on how to do it.
So after reading the threads I found on Google my trx1 was left to soak in some 6% hydrogen peroxide in a jar. It's been in there for almost a week and there doesn't seem to be much or any improvement. It's sat on the window sil inside and when I'm...

Thanks for posting up the process. The parts were always a bit off white, nearly ivory. Your results look great and seem natural for the process.
I think a lot of the nylon whiting is informed by whitening bones. Seeing an alternate to the...
I have a rc10 C stamp in decent shape I want to make A runner out of is it safe to do the peroxide parts clean or does it weaken the parts in any way also it has a cracked rear a-arm mount where would I find one

Its been a concern whether or not peroxiding parts breaks down the plastics molecular structure but you'd have to do some pretty extensive testing to find out for sure. If you're that worried you can always boil them afterward as that should help.
About a month ago, when I got two rc10 rollers to combine together their best parts and restore one car, I made a google search on how to whiten plastic parts. After seeing three different web sites, I was satisfied with what I needed to do.
All...

I see a lot of people have made some great insights, and the poster has already gotten some good results... But I had a few ideas if anyone is interested.

Has anyone tried peroxiding pan car wheels with foams attached? Will it have a negative effect on the foam if I submerged the wheels in peroxide and water?

My goal is to whiten the mesh wheels. They have turned a bit yellow and looks from being in a smoking environment. The foams are new looking but hardened with age. I want to clean the car and keep it original because it may have held some historical...
