Graphite Rebuild (No Restore)

Quote

Post by RCCWMAN » Tue Mar 27, 2012 7:31 pm

I had a graphite car that just needed some cleaning. this had a truck shocks on it so they stayed on it.
It started as just fix the front kickup, it became delaminated and was worn out. I eneded up tearing it down and replacing all the hardware and bearings.

The front end reminds me of the handlebars on a chopper. Cleaned up real nice.

I've been at a total loss though to find parts for it.

These are the doom buggies. Well, one doom buggy and the...

Thanks for all the kind and helpful comments. This car has been a bit of an obsession for me over the last month. I still need to get the electronics up and running and will do a what's in the box / what's in the track bag post as part of that.

When you guys clean the parts and chassis, what cleaning solutions do you use to get that old grime off?

no particular order:

simple green in a jar for plastic parts, throw them in for a day or so. will also work on bearings and anything steel, but NO aluminum. scrub with old toothbrush, and pipe cleaners for small spots, then rinse and let dry....
