What do you guy's prefer? Dyed or not dyed white parts?
I'm piecing together a RC 10 for a shelf queen. The buggy will be on it's way in a few days. The parts look OK from the pics but some may be a little beat up. I think I can whiten them up with...

Yes, it's definitely a matter of choice. I can appreciate box art cars with beautiful new white parts just as well as I appreciate people who go their own way and dye parts to their preference. I've dyed parts on numerous occasions to produce the...

I dyed some fluorescent yellow RPM 10T parts black and they took the dye quickly.

I think this is most useful for vintage goodies that are out of production but there's scope for all sorts of things:
Here's where I...
