Ok so all parts and more for future projects took a good dye bath. AE parts take the dye quickly, it was not the case with the 3D printed parts: they took almost eight hours to get to a gun metal/deep blue/blackish colour. They are still wet on the below picture.

Dye’em all and let God sort them out

Parts have been degreased, cleaned and deburred. Now ready for a black azabache Rit Dye bath!

Looking even better than the inspirational model!
I wish I could buy a kit from you

That car is a definite piece of car history. I have viewed this post numerous times and still love it. You have an amazing car! Thank you! It will be the last one to go if the collection is ever for sale. I feel extremely lucky to have this car in my possession as Masami sold very few of his own ca...

I also wanted to flip the shorty servo and free some space in front of the battery to mount weights, receiver and ESC. The steering design from Niki is brilliant for this and available from Shapeways. The only mod I will bring to it is cutting the side ears and fabricate a steering rack for a bette...

[quote=duckhead post_id=516973 time=1608243566 user_id=10616] Looks good, I like the use of the B6 series radio gear plate, such a simple thing but makes tear down so much nicer :) I can't read the logo, what stand offs are those that you are using to hold down the battery? [/quote] The B6 radio gea...

Did you use a servo saver?

I obviously and blatantly copied Masami’s trick there. That mod is also included in the original RC10GX that I bought from him!

It is all at mock up stage right now but quite advanced still. All white parts while undergo a black Rit Dye bath ultimately. The use of the longer a-arms also enables to use bigger front and rear shock bodies, a recurring issue with big bore shocks. Right now I have in the 23mm bodies and 21mm shaf...

Interesting bulkhead swap ya got there. Yeah, this is something that always bugged me on the RC10 is that you always have to use some sort of spacers somewhere to align the shocks perfectly in the right travel movement. This mods includes cutting the battery holder and flip around the bulkhead and ...

I have incorporated a lot of mods on this already, the main one being the use of long printed arms that retain the same design as the originals but that are 5mm longer on each side for the front ones and 10mm longer for the rears. The wheel base is also increased by 5mm in the front arms. This set u...

Hi folks, Thought I would share my latest runner project on which I ce been working for some months already. Collecting parts in a pandemic situation is not easy and takes even more patience than us usually. Anyway, I started this with random parts from the stash. The Graphite chassis was a must and...

The funniest is actually that there is also a Porsche emblem
