Hey, would someone know if the B3 front yellow wheels (9481Y) are nylon? I have a few of those and I am wondering if I can dye them black. It doesn't say on the package and I can't find any info. Thanks!

I'm like 99% sure they are nylon. Which is plastic, but dyable.

I'll add another 1% making it full 100% - yes they are nylon just like the natural (blond) ones except with yellow colorant added. They should take the black dye just fine.

I would like to buy a sheet of black plastic which is made from the same material that bumpers are made from (like the RPM bumpers). Something tough, semi flexible, available in thin sheets of 1 or 2 mm. Not to make a bumper, but for other...

Great info Terry, thanks! The part won't be formed. I just want to cut a small rectangle from a sheet. It will be used to protect the underside of my black nose piece from scuffs. Also I need to make it roughly 1mm (not measured it yet) thicker, so...

Hello all,
I picked up a used Andy's rc10 bumper on e-bay and some the tines are cut.
I was think of trying some plastic welding or wrapping in carbon fiber.

Does anyone know what those bumper were made of ? I hear for plastic welding you need...

Pretty sure that they are nylon. That's what they look like.

I just put an Andy's body mount in dye to bring its color back. It took the color quickly, just like nylon.

Now, I think JG stuff is Kydex.

That was my guess. Thinking about it more I...

When my old buggy racing buddy got out of RC cars back in the late 80's, he sold me his parts car (Turbo Optima) and almost a half-full third box of parts (Kyosho Salute). I'm certainly not lacking for parts! Anyway, among the parts were a set of...

Guys, I have some old front RC10 rims that are painted. I want to strip the paint and dye them. What can I use to strip the paint that won't hurt the nylon? Any suggestions?

Thanks

You know , there's a buy sell trade section for this kind of questions and it's annoying to start multiple threats to ask for the same part. :|

Is there any chrome paint that that folks have used to repaint chrome wheels successfully?

Last post

From my research, the best chrome out there is Molotow Liquid Chrome, but it is really only sold as pens (or as a pen refill). For something like wheels, it needs to be airbrushed. It seems to do better on some plastics than others, and I think it...
