Hey guys, was able to get the wheels and tires mounted up, came out pretty good, I didnt use any foams for the tires, the fronts fit ok, I think the bead on the schumacher fronts are just a tad to wide, as they seem to not sit exactly perfect, but for a display I can live with it. The rears fit grea...

The wheels come in from JC RACING today, I also picked up some Schumacher tires from Ebay, the front tires have this white/gray film/powder on them, I'm guessing it's a release agent from the tire mold? I haven't yet opened them, and was wondering if this stuff cleans off easily and or what to use? ...

Thanks guys for the comments, I first thought about going pink again on the chassis, and doing everything else in black, But in the end black won me over, both for convenience (able to do all parts at once) and the simple fact I kinda wanted a more "modern" look to it. Plus the stainless h...

Had some more free time yesterday, was able to get this basically finished. I did re-dye the chassis again, as it had some lighter spots on it. For the most part all the parts look pretty damn good, there is however some lighter blueish/purple color that I didn't notice, Until I started the assembly...

Thanks!
Got them all around, except the servo rod.

Well was able to get a little bit of progress done earlier today. I picked up a stainless screw set from Team KNK, A nice set of screws I do gotta say, every zip lock baggie is marked (paper insert) of what size/type screw. Also picked up a RPM gear cover, some nylon nuts for the shocks and for top ...

Me too...

Haven't forgot about this guy's, just life's other things going on. Will be getting back to work here real soon, hope to have this put back together before then. I did re-dye the chassis, and color came out pretty dang uniform this time. I used a cheap aluminum turkey roast pan the first time, I did...

Shhhhhhh.......Don't tell her that

Nice score bud would love to get me one of those in the original white color. Yeah I hear that, If only there was a miracle dye remover...... :? Well was sittin around last night enjoying a few cold ones, Got bored and gave the parts a black dye bath. Everything come out pretty good, chassis has a ...

you'll want to use the RIT dyemore(?) graphite which is essentioally black but for the better of the dyes offered by RIT at this point. The newer RIT black dye formula is not as strong as the old stuff and doesn't work as good anymore. Todd Oh....Thanks for the heads up, been a little while since I...

Thanks guys, Just had my daughter pic me up some black RIT while she was out. So....Looks like after a good cleaning, These parts are gonna relax in a nice dark bath.

Hey guys, Picked this up the other day off Ebay, wasn't listed as it should of been, title just said "RC Chassis Unit" I shot the seller a offer and he accepted. I'm not sure of what exactly Im gonna do with it, keep it/flip it? I am doing a tear down and cleaning, I was possibly thinking ...
