First of all I'm in a hurry on reading stuff. I was talking about that one part. Yea didn't know it was aluminum. But u know how
kids are, using other type of metal and not protecting it doesn't matter how shiny u get it, u could easily get rust on it. Anyways
:) wasn't here to talk ****.

So basically all frames are aluminum or some? Sorry I like asking quetion, the more i ask the more I learn and the more
i get wiser the more i grow. LOL

yes, most nitro frames are aluminum since its light. the color on them is called anodizing, it has to do with a color dye mixed with chemicals and electricity and the aluminum is "dipped and soaked" in it and the color sticks to it, for lack of better words.

excellent pictures bro, i like those tires on the sv

RE: Pictures of your redcats and other rides
 
thanks for answering his question on de-anodizing for me.. the way i did it was the cheap way, i sprayed 1 side down with some easy off (oven cleaner) and let it sit for about 3-5 minutes, than sprayed off with water, than did the other side.. strong fumes, but works

Original Drano works real well also. mix it about 30% in water in a container big enough to fit the part in submerged and wait a few minutes while the paint bubbles and wash it off[:-]done it both ways...........fumes not as bad with drano:D

well, still havent received my parts, but i did finally receive my 2055 traxxas servo that took 2 weeks to get here:eek: and ive done a little more, got new fuel lines, cleaned it up more, painted my springs white, made a top plate (still needs polished) installed all my electronics, their up and working great now.. just got to wait on all my parts now, including rims/tires so i can get rid of the old dirty bald set i got now.. [8D]
(the steering servo is 2055 kinda hard to osee from the reflection, and the throttle is a 2018)
