7075RC, or for those stock parts you have you can use:

Oven Cleaner (aerosol in the yellow can) - will take multiple attempts and steel wool
Eastwood Anodize Remover - Works decent but will need to do it a few times as well
you can use lye crystals comes in jug. - be very careful this stuff will mess you up. I use this for stripping gun parts.

here is a link i found with pictures for a guy that uses Lye Crystals it with bmx parts.

Just be very careful. Father In law is a plumber. One of his guys dropped a couple of pellets and they fell into his boot. Later in the day he started sweating and it ate a hole in his chin about a quarter in diameter and 1/4 inch deep before he realized what was going on.

The only parts we make for the MT is drive cups, We add a stainless steel ring to the outside to stop them from cracking. Same price as stock from Redcat.
