So I acquired a big box of RC10 stuff from a co-worker that he said he's had for a long time. In the Box was a RC10T and a RC10GT pan chassis. Also a box of misc parts, oils, tires, etc. I've had these for about a year now and finally have gotten to start cleaning them up! I started rewhitening all the white parts on the GT the past few days but I also made a wee bit of a mistake I had cleaned all the parts and set them in a dish and totally forgot about the white RPM front a-arms and left them in the whitening solution for about an hour before I realized what I did! I had even read not to try and whiten these an hour before hand! DOH!

So I was wondering if there was anyway to help whiten RPM stuff? They aren't bad and look like old faded rpm stuff, but I'd really like them to look a little whiter like all my other parts now.

I'll try and post updates and pictures soon!
UPDATE! Pictures!
Here's a few I took of the little collection i got. Rc10T has a Novak Rooster esc, MIP steering, MIP CVDS, nothing else truly that important that i know of.
RC10gt Came as a pan chassis, i bought a FT chassis but later decided against it in the rebuild. Came with the stock Rtr Dynamite .12? and a OS CZ12Z NIB with a price tag on it. Also an assortment of wheels and tires. Some Losi, Proline and stock AE ones also.










Also a pic of my project SC10GT that started out as a FT RTR. I plan on using a TC5 motor mount and making this brushless!

Did the RPM arms yellow or get chalky?

Lemme upload a pic, but they we're a little yellowed to begin with and the peroxide yellowed them a little bit more.

Here's the start of my project! Then of the whitened parts and finally the dreaded rpm parts

Boil them in hot distilled water for 20 min or so

Alright, I'll give it a try! My GT came without a body and I'd really like to stick with a original body instead of something like a crowd pleazer, I looked but didn't see if Mr. Lexan made a repop of the GT body, i did see the 10T though

What chassis is that in the pic of your SC10GT?
