Losi XXX-SCT Teardown

[332_RC]

Time to remove some goo. I start from left to right.

First step, prep a stick of basswood into a chisel.

Soak the area with WD40.

Scrape with the chisel to remove most of the big stuff.

The WD40 will actually mix with the goo. Once you see the goo and WD40 become one, clean with a paper towel.

Repeat a couple times. You will feel the chisel glide over areas where there is still goo. Work the WD40 in til you feel the chassis' texture with no gliding over goo.

Then wipe it up.View attachment 221512

The scratches you see above are from a screwdriver, which was done by someone before I got this. That is precisely why I use a piece of basswood. It doesn't mar the finish at all.

Spray on some Super Clean degreaser and scrub with a paper towel or shop rag. Or you can use some Superman tighty whitees

And abracadabra. Good as new, after someone carved into it with a screwdriver

Next up @Littlemotor - doing "dishes"

Need a plastic welder. Or you could use a dremel w/ the material in a collet & the RPMs would be enough to fill those dishes. Then file / sand smooth.

@WickedFog i do apologize sincerely for my extreme A.D.D..

Back to doing “dishes”, and “laundry”!!!!

 

[WickedFog]

Dishes done. And that reminds me - I need to do laundry today too. I been neglecting her.

Taking a nutha rejuvie in the horizontal human holder. Dishes is dryin off. After a bit I am going to go tear the diff apart and clean the trans and start the actual build thread.

That one rear carrier that was melted - MrGoodwrench had a new set in the bag of spare parts he sent me.

The reason for the failure was that the axle pin was MIA, so the hex was just tightened against the carrier by the wheel nut.

New set of hexes/pins incoming.

Mr.Goodwrench hasn't checked in here since last Oct. Have you heard from him, recently?

Pssshhh. I'm here at least once a week. I just haven't been able to remember my password since last October. I saw this thread and had to stop being lazy and log in. Glad to see your getting that old SCT going again.

As for the scratches on the chassis, probably damaged in shipping

Oh, it's no biggie. The car looks amazing for how old it is.

Glad to see ya back man! This is the game plan for it.

I see I put it in good hands! Look forward to seeing the build thread.

I am waiting on a screw kit. But the screws in it look great, so I dunno. But I already ordered them, so I might as well wait a bit.

No Tony's screws in this one?

Playing favorites is just wrong!
