I recomend Nitro fuel. Brush a small amount and gently scrub the paint away. If the original paint did it's job in the first place and etched the plastic, you may end up with a cloudy finish.

I am also stripping a body right now... It's an awful lot of work... The outside has been painted once, the inside twice... I am using commandant(4) (a sanding/polishing kind of substance (which leaves no scratches btw ) It does work, but it also takes a long time, and getting into the corners is quite hard...

There is a, fairly expensive, product called Model Strip . I've used it on a couple of Scalextric shells, and it does work. It's quite thick, and needs to be left wrapped up in a plastic bag for several hours after application. But not sure about RC shells, though I've heard that the Nitro fuel thing works.

Hope this helps.

As I said earlier, I used commandant... but maybe you can also use an abrasive that you would usualy use for your sink (might be a faster and much cheaper method than I said before). I would try it on a clean piece of lexan first though (I always keep the cut off pieces from my shells for those things) and see if it doesn't scratch in the lexan...

mr pushrod talked about using a graffitti remover. Ask him if it works well.
