This two guys leave my collection, much time spent in a obscure box waiting for a better future. I haven't time to clean, refurbish and give a new life to this two beautiful motors so I sold it.
Other items from my collection are on sale on my Ebay, fell free to check it.
A new set of wheels for my Tamiya BBX was included in the stuff I've received last week. The idea is to dying them after a full chrome removing and to the purpose I've bought an oven cleaner choosing the one that seemed less gentle in the supermarket's shelf.
Well my new wheels have been soaked in the full bottle of cleaner for almost 6 hours reaching the modest result to remove most of the light coats of chrome from the inner and the back of the wheels with a beging of corrosion of the thicker coat from the outer face of the wheels. Two toughts: oven cleaner here in Italy are less power than cleaner available abroad or who says that this process involves "few of hours" has to reconsider what "few of hours" means.
The parts needed to refurbish my BBX are arrived during the last week: new body, some stickers, new driver figure, PS cans, wheels and masking fluid.
For first I've gave a primer coat to the driver and then a coat of Nato black that will be useful de define seat belts and helmet visor.
Than I've washed the new body and In a near future I have to face the complex cut task.
