Dying HPI five star wheels

[Dr. Robotnik]

So can you dye these wheels? I bought some RC10 ones in pink and they are pretty rough and would look better in black!

Cheers in advance.

Yes those can be dyed. HPI never offered those in pink, just dyeable white, black, and chrome.

Yup, I got a set of aqua colored wheels with a LXT a few months ago, and they came out nicely as black.

Aqua..... Honestly, what were they thinking?

[rcflyer1984]

We've all asked ourselves that very same question at least once or twice. You should have seen the last Kyosho truck I bought.

Not true Tim, see highways post. I have quite a few of them in pink.

[templeofspeed]

I have some in orange.

[highwayracer]

I've never seen the orange...I don't even have those listed in my catalog (old hpi...before they were making cars).

What I have seen, is that HPI often painted (chrome or gold) over different color wheels. I had a nip package of gold that were actually molded in green and yellow...painted and sold in the same package.

Which color?

[RichieRich]

Fronts are hard to find. I've found tons of rears.

[AYKBOBCAT]

I have black ones but I dyed them. They were pink.

[Erich Reichert]

I have black one that were black from HPI

[oldskool]

I got a pink set. They're kind of ugly...

[scr8p]

i have a pair of white rears that i've been holding on to for quite some time. maybe if i get rid of them, i'll finally find a pair of white fronts.
