I have some used cox helicopters. How do I clean off the old fuel goo from all the plastic parts. Alcohol isnt working all that well? -Blake

Try using some fresh fuel on a rag. I have heard of people soaking plastic parts in automotive brake fluid, but having not done it myself I wouldn't recommend it until someone else chimes in with their experience.
You could maybe try Windex or another common houshold spray cleaner.

Brake fluid works great, it'll take about everything off, goo, paint, etc., and will rinse off with only water. Place part in a plastic bag add enough to cover and let soak. Windex work great for less baked on crap.

Ok thanks! But will it hurt the plastic?
