I have heard easy off works (red top) as well purple power and I think some liquid plumbing stuff like drain-o and what not.

I've heard Easy-Off oven cleaner works, but I've never tried it. Maybe someone with experience will chime in. I'm gonna have a couple AX-10's to "de-green" soon and would like to know also.

I wonder how many more Scorpions Alial would sell if they offered a Gray version, like they do with their engines. I know it being neon freaking green is a large contributing figure to me not buying one.

Greased Lightning...just let the parts soak for about a minute.

Don't use EZ-Off on cast aluminum that's been anodized, it'll turn black.

Easy Off with the Yellow Top works great on the Axial posts and links.

Why should Axial make them in gray, I like both, but if you want to compete with an Axial, looks like anymore you have to buy one
