Ultra molded 10T cleanup

[mikea96]

Picked up this rpm 10t recently and is complete minus a broken battery post.

All white RPM... That will be a fun endeavor to restore. Subscribed and bookmarked!

Any further progress mikea96? I ran across this video that may be of help.

but just a heads up for the new guys out there...DO NOT USE STUFF LIKE IN THE ABOVE VIDEO ON RPM PARTS...that is unless you like a wintergreen type color which is what you'll have once its done

Peroxide=good for nylon white parts

Peroxide=bad for rpm parts

[mikea96]

I did pass it on as i have to many other items that need finished. I used simple green to soak and then dishwashing soap and alot of scrubbing to cleanup.

That's good to know klavy69. Thanks for the guidance.

Not a problem. Good detective work though. There is a rather lengthy thread on it somewhere on the board. There is also mention of it in various threads where someone was peroxide whitening their parts and accidentally dropped in an RPM part with their nylon stuff. Some have turned out a little darker green than the dayglow re-re parts were when first coming out. I've got some good pix of what it looks like but can't get them to load onto this board .

Someday I'll get it figured out between my phone and computer but due for an upgrade on my phone soon so maybe this winter I can sit down and experiment with pictures on this damn forum

aaannnndddd???

can U get some more details like which one are you using? I'm sporting android phones right now so if that makes a difference...

there are tons of picture resizing apps out there...I've tried a couple and they weren't easy or "fun to use" as the description said

Yes it is called resize mypix here is a screen shot of the app.

[mikea96]

You just snap photos with your phone then go to the app check the boxes of the photos you want to resize then scroll down the list and shrink to the desired size then save to sd card and your done. I tried a bunch of different ones and this was by far the best.

THank you for the info. Gonna have to give it a try...so tired of this forum not taking some pix but taking others that it shouldn't ( ) and being away from my R/C for so long that I might just give it a shot this week.
