Default Works 93 wcs - PICS!

I recently got one of these.

A production model.

Looks in good nick! No breaks or cracks. Have several wheels aswell.

Some rust and the magnesium parts are coated.

The chassis also has some sticky residue.

Hopefully, I'm going to manage a rebuild without much in the way to replace. But I guess you'll never can tell!

I need some advice on cleaning up. I can handle to rust but what should I do with the magnesium bits and the hardened sticky residues on the chassis (used to mount electrics)?

Wow! Can't wait to see your pictures... these are a rare kit, released after Masami's Worlds Win in Basildon, very few were imported into the uk (or indeed available for the rest of the world) I e'mailed Jason Varley at CML who reckoned only 40 or so were sold through them.

Here's the build thread on RC10Talk for my 93WCS.... http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=17274

Masami's original worlds winning car;



As for cleaning up the magnesium parts (including the wheel hubs) - Tony at Rude Bits kindly bead blasted mine, for cleaning off the tape residue I use combination 'Ambersil' sticker & label remover & bee's wax furniture polish .... for removing superglue, good old Acetone does the job

Default Hi

In fact derbydan I read your build thread on rc10. It was fascinating to read and the depth you went into building your buggy! Your end result is a treat to marvel at!

I have two buggies actually. Both may be works 93 wcs but I got a feeling one is works 94 with some mods.

They both look intact.

You may be asking where are the pics....well you can wait until tomorrow when I upload then or just give me or email.

Thanks on the advice regarding cleaning. I was going to use soda blasting as there is a facility closeby.
