i heard that nitro fuel was a good way to strip a clear body, but it leaves the body with a hase. is their a better way to strip the paint off a clear body????

Buy a new one will hands down give you the best results. Seriously.

I have used this stripper for a couple years now (Citristrip gel) works much better than brake fluid and does not seem to harm the lexan, infact I have left it on over night and still no damage to the lexan. You can buy it at home depot or lowes. I usually leave it on for about an hour or so it can be a bit messy use soft terry cloth rag and a soft brissel paint brush to get into the crevises you also should tape up the exterior to limit scratching it. Hope this helps

What do you mean "talk"?!? I'm just trying to help a bro out!

HPI has a nice mustang saleen body out there that would look nice until you find a new original body 20.00 on ebay

Gary's an Austrailian-'nuff said! (I'm a Kiwi-I'm allowed to rib Aussies!)

I scored a JRX Pro in a trade a few weeks ago.
The OG paint was there,on the inside,but there were three coats of paint on the outside,hiding it.
I used acetone on a Q-Tip...Rub-A-Dub-Dub.
Didn't make the lexan cloudy,either,worked a charm.
I had a couple of vintage Orion decals that had got wet in the packet and some of the print from the instructions had transferred onto them.Acetone on a Q-Tip to the rescue,again!
Perfection.

Buddy used some DOT Brake fluid. It wasn't over a whole body, just a part of one, but said he didn't notice any fogging and or damage to the lexan.

Not sure is anyones tried it.
