As title. Any issues with dying tamiya wheels?

Cheers

I can't speak to all of them but many are plastic and can't be dyed.

a lot of Tamiya stuff is made of ABS plastic and doesn't really take dye.

Ok thanks! I may try it and see.

Dyeing involves immersing the wheels in boiling water, which will melt and deform ABS plastic wheels. Nylon wheels won't be affected by boiling water. Don't do it unless you have spares and are prepared to toss a set away if the dyeing fails.

I've never had a reason to try it before, but I'm under the impression that only nylon is dyable when it comes to R/C parts.
