Thank you guys!

Yesterday I rebuilt the shocks. I got a complete set yokomo silver springs from a forum member. Now I can use the copper springs on another project, my T2 Pavidis :)

I also got a complete set Keil special wheels. Now I have to dye the rear ones :) waiting for a repro bumper, body and undertray...

I will start to collect the period correct electronics. I Would love to find an LRP IPC or ICS esc for it.

Period correct electronics for 1994 would be a Novak 4-10 HPc, or a Novak Hammer, and a Reedy Sonic. The Tempest was 1995, and would go nicely in a Pavidis YZ10. I do not recall what the equivalent Tekin ESCs would be from 1994. Maybe something like the 410K?

Novak 410 HPC sounds good...are they difficult to find? I checked my "vintage-esc-box" lol and found a Tekin 411g2, Novak 610 and Novak 410M5. Have more stuff but nothing period correct. LRP ICS Digital should be from 94.

Guys, I tried to dye the rims black but they turned out dark blue... except the ARP rims, they are black now :o

How could I save the Keil rims, get them black? Should I try the US stuff, the Rit dye powder??
