Pretty much its a graphite buggy with all black parts, ill post pics as i go along.

Ill be posting pics tomorow, I just posted one but I dont know where it went

Basics

Sorry this build has taken sooo long Ive been out of town.

Rear End

Before you dye white parts, see if you can trade with someone that has molded black ones as some of the white stuff is hard to come by.

Well I have asked for BST access 2 weeks ago and still nothing so I cant ask

if you hint that your going to need black over white in your build thread you will get a few PM,s with offers

yes you did, and at that time, you did not meet the requirements....... which explained to you at that time. you sent me a pm yesterday since you do meet them now, and i approved you today. so don't act as if we were blowing you off.

Funny, I had never tried dying parts before. Was going to give it a shot on a project that is in planning right now using my Houge graphite chassis. Looking forward to seeing yours done.

scr8p I never thought you were blowing me off, i thought i told you i was going out of town but appearently i didnt. I appreciate you approving me.

I was going to post more progress today, but when I got to put the steering assembly on my buggy all I had were pearly white pieces, only if i had a black set I could continue foward on this bulid, because it would be a shame to dye them black.

Steering

Now you are getting it.
Of coure you may do as you wish, but I was just putting a thought in your head. I have dyed parts but they were badly stained or scratched. If they are close to new I would search for black because someday you might want to put together an earlier car.
Looking good btw.

Okay, Ive been working on Project Shadow and went to put on te Rulux wheels, but they rub the hubs, any sugestions, I have changed to the 3/16 CVD to run the rulux wheel, Im using the standard 1.5 degree hub with 1/4x 3/16 flanged bearings. Thanks- Craig
