nICELY DYED parts cept bell cranks and tranny brace are white. Should i paint a stripped tub flat black or satin black for a sweet contrast or sell the parts off to someone here?Looks sucky on gold tub.Now i wish hadnt sold those pink trinity wheels i had last year.don

why not dye the parts black, Don?

Almost all my cars are black and i hate to dye parts allready dyed they come out a screwed up brownish red.don

I washed them up lastnite and the water turned pinkish.Never seen that happen before.don

Definitely black.

Find a graphite chassis and build it with the pink parts.

THEY were bought on an ASSOCIATED graphite chassis that i saw in the bottom of a huge tote full of parts cars almost all the way to MT Airy NC.I HAVE A 8th scale buggy,rc10GT,RUSTLER,LOSI DRAKE NITRO i think.A whole truggy rearend and 3.3 sets of 8th wheels and tires too and misc. parts from that purchase.But main reason was the Associated graphite chassis.since was in such sweet condition.Thats why i like parts cars i love creating mutants to drive lol.No telling what id create if had enuff parts cars hehe.don

I might want to trade.

I'll send you a pm.

gomachv's suggestion looks pretty good to me.

Nothing wrong with a little dye I Like mine colorful except for pink.

Nice yellow is that rit dye? I haven't had much luck with their yellow in the last but now that I switched to a mini deep fryer I may try again

The royal blue is Rit dye the yellow was from Litespeed.

need to start a thread on dyed parts and what type dye they used and exact amount of time they boiled it. And amount of dye used.Each dye job you see, its so different. THAT LIGHTSPEED dye came in the funny plastic thing you always use the hole thing with rit dye may use too much powder.By weighing certain amounts you get varying results.don
Id love to figure out the RPM Blue lol

Before the deep fryer, do you use a regular or panko bread crumb?

HE dont boil he DEEP FRIES HIS PARTS FOR A CRUNCHY DRIVING EXSPERIENCE LMAO!!!!! DON
BUT i guess with a new mini deep fryer it boils up faster and more intensely dyes the parts.hmmm never thought usen one those for that.
