Take it all away
Never give an inch

I don't know why, but that reminds me of Dire Straits - Money for Nothin

Took my 10L for it's first test drive this morning. The rear tires break loose pretty easily with a big dose of throttle.

The wheels and tires weren't a hard decision. I have a set of B2 front and rear wheels, and also a set of Race Prep 925 rear / 926 front tires looking for a home. This seems like the right spot. .

Some side by side with my JRX2

A nice Composite Craft chassis RC10 showed up. The only real bummer is that 4 extra holes got added for a JRX2 battery cup. I guess I'll get some practice filling holes.

I was just thinking, a little top side rocket propulsion is just what the Frankenbuggy needs

I use RIT dye. They have one specific to synthetics that I use and reuse.

So.... don't stand directly behind it when controlling it?

1. That's where the exhaust is
2. Good luck seeing it through the exhaust cloud

That seems like a good location to stand. But the poor camera operator back there.

I think Graphite is just a fancy name for black. I'm 99% sure the Graphite is what dyes my parts black. I get mine from a local Hobby Lobby.

I store my used dye in glass containers for future reuse. Plastic jugs and steel paint cans have both left me with catastrophes.

Fire! Flames! AWESOME!!!!

Wile E. Coyote didn't need ignitors. And that always worked out well...

It looks awesomely healthy to me

Thanks for posting it! You can't leave this with only the one photo. That beautifully painted body shell needs to ge removed for a few top and bottom shots. You know you want to....

I like the one fighting for 5th place running over the other buggy. That's my kind of finesse racing.
