Decided to strip my rc10 worlds car down and put it back together looking all spanky and new!!
Got a few pics of the chassis. Will keep this topic updated.

What will you be doing with the chassis...anodize, powder coat, polish? I love the mill work...can't wait to see what the final product looks like.

I'd love to get it anodized but i dont know a lot about it, and from what i can gather its not the cheapest option?
Was going for the black and white theme so was gonna do a nice job of spraying the chassis white. Opinions and ideas welcome!

This mmay seem like a bit of a stupid question but was just wondering if there is a quick/easy way of removing the drive pins like that on the rear wheels and the gearbox as shown below?
Thanks in advance

Hi Dan,
I take a small piece of wood with a small hole in it, lay the part on it with the pin in the hole and carefully tap it through. Put some WD40 on it and try both sides, usually wants to go easier one direction. Hope this helps, works for me on some old rusted outdrives.

Well i managed to spray the chassis white and am now in the process putting all the cleaned bits back on. Still waiting on a few spares to arrive for it.
Comments welcome
