Hello!
So ive picked up a cheap Tamiya Tiger I but the paint it so thick and blobby it needs stripping. This will be the first time ive used the mr muscle trick to remove the paint. I assume I have to take out all the electrics/motors before applying my muscle and bagging it?
Sounds like a silly question but just want to check before I go through the job of removing everything.
Thanks
Mike

Thanks Dave
I picked this one up as a none runner and it must have been painted about 6 times. Its a right mess paint wise but it only missing one part that I cant tell (one of the air box pipes. Got it running, silly person didn't know you had to have the receiver switch plugged in and on to start a Tamiya.

Hello Mike , do make sure you remove any metal parts , particually the alloy pieces as Mr Muscle is caustic and will disolve them ! B.
to the bouncy room ! Yay !
