Default Help on identification

I'm new to this forum. I just found a RC pickup truck in my dumpster. It has these 2 bars of white metal, they look as if you took some metal bars and put some white powder on it. A wire plugs into each end of each bar. What is this? Is it some corrosion on something? And if it is corrosion what is it on?

I don't have my digital camera here right now so I'll try and describe it more thoroughly. On the back it says 10W0.22, then the omega symbol(Olms)(sp?) then K. It's in a little metal housing above the motor gearbox. So it says 10W0.22QK, but omega instead of Q.

Sounds like a mechanical speed control, but I can't be sure without looking at it.

It sounds like you may be describing a 6 cell stick pack battery that's corroded. Are the "2 bars of white metal" cylindrical?

No. This isn't like any other batteries I have seen before. They are rectangular, and the wire plugs right into the metal itself, not like a batteries. Also It already has a battery pack. The wires from each battery plug into a turntable-thing that has a servo under it, and many wires sticking out from different sides. The wire from the reciever goin to the turntable, as well at that from the battery.

He's describing what sounds a lot like a friend of my Son's old Rustler. It had an MSC that I replaced with an ESC.
