First post, I will try to keep it brief!
I've been into RC for about 30 years. I recently went to clean out the garage and found all my stuff...I knew it was there, just wasn't doing anything with it. I have an RC10T3 runner for me, an RC10T runner for my wife, an HPI MT18SS nitro runner, A Clod Buster Clodzilla IV for chasing cats and crushing things, and a few helicopters. Those are the ones I play with. But I found all my other stuff and so I started fixing them up thinking of selling them and making some room. I started with my Tamiya stuff, I got it all lookin good and am selling them...they were fun to build and all, but not that much fun to drive. Then I came across some older chassis and thought perhaps I should see if I can build one or two. My main goal was just to make room in the garage...I don't want to spend very much cash...so I am starting with the car pictured below. As I started, I found that these are much harder to let go than the Tamiyas. I only build to drive, and I NEED to make room....my wife drives RC and flies the choppers, but if she says clean, I must clean, I already have one room filled with guitars and watches! I would love to hear your opinions on what I should do with this truck. I am only using parts I have or parts I can clean. The rust is driving me crazy and the white plastic has been stained and yellowing...I have them soaking in peroxide and sitting in the sun...cleaning the shocks, stripping them, basically going to rebuild it from scratch....I want to dye the white plastic...thoughts...and Thanks to everyone who posts all the quality info I have used so far...T.
