Almost everything I have is like that :mrgreen:

If you aren't going to buy black towers, the glass ones dye pretty well 8) just gotta get em hot and leave em in for a while.

I think I have a set of bones and a black battery cup/strap....maybe more if you need some help finding parts. Cheaper than eBay!

Sadly I have never got a very good dye job on the servo savers, they will take dye but still seem kind of transparent. .maybe I didn't leave them in long enough, def worth a try

I just did a couple glass chassis a few weeks ago, they took it pretty well. You can kind of see the pattern almost like a kyosho frp chassis.

x2, but as with diet pills "results may vary". Looks like a great runner project. The 6 gear doesn't really get much love but it's a smooth bitch. Sexy shape too. :mrgreen:

Makes me think of Spinal Tap: "it's like, how much more black could it be? And the answer is none. None more black."

it sure feels like powdercoat. it is just too beat up to leave it, even for a runner.

did u try sand blasting yours? impregnates the aluminum i hear but i am thinking i will give it a shot

looks like i am the last person to do one of these. :lol: oh well i guess i will get to have one too :D
