Your methods?

Just picked up another graphite rc10. It's in near perfect condition. However the previous owner had a double sided tape fetish or something because it was all over the chassis. What's the best method to remove the residue from the tape off of the graphite. I've seen posts for tub cars, but can find anything for graphite. Thanks in advance!

I use a heat gun for the big pieces and then I use goof off or goo gone. Others have said lighter fluid or even WD-40 work great as well. I haven't tried them

Good to know. I wasn't sure if goof off, or goo gone was safe for graphite

Always try in a safe area if possible. Goof off is pretty potent stuff, goo gone is much more mild and I haven't ever seen it harm a surface.

I use Goo Gone on my all mine, graphite included. Never had a problem, but like GoMachV said, test it on an inconspicuous spot first.

WD40 works best for me

^ Like alcohol, lighter fluid will evaporate before harming anything, and is what I use..
