Well as i pack my bags for my trip back to the uk and look at my fast dwindling collection im smug in the knowledge , That as i have been going through umpteen boxs a few of the parts would glow orange .
So not wanting to sell anything orange started a pile right next to my empty green worlds chassis .
Well the next day as i opened the door to my room ,throwing strategic "yes dears" over my shoulders looking for that moment to close it .And this caught my eye. i had heard of Rumpelstiltskin before, but knowing any offspring i might produce doubted if i would ever see him .

looks almost finished and not to shabby so not one to be pushy and knowing twins rain in my family i left him a note requesting some changes along with half a bottle of glenmorangie and half a java twix, i caught the dog licking .
so tune in at some point to get some updates im so excited i wont be able to sleep .maybe he will paint it to

Todd

WOW. I feel a slight buzz just reading these posts. Love em.

Freaking awesome X2 on the MEDs...

well you will not belive what i saw this morning my $#@%$#ing my new white parts
still missing the red dye but black red to yellow flames NICE
so i got in a bottle of Gin a crate of limes and 2 liters of diet cherry Dr pepper and will wait up tonight and see what happens because as a wise man once said if you get robbed and they leave your camera change your toothbrush immediately


Paul

so the evening is going great i am having a small straight gin and and going to bed early as im dieing early Saturday

some red that is ,then its time to get my balls out ready to fix my flaming trans on Saturday night .(it took a while but i think i have covered all the sleazy angles to a simple statement about a colourfull transmission rebuild scheduled for this Saturday segway away peanut gallery )
Not having a bondage fetish even after several course,s of tablets. i still found tightly hog tying my white rpm body mount relatively soothing and win win because there is only a tight knot in tie dye
on next to the front wheels and tires kyosho truck tires cut down and re-glued, the surface area for the glue is quadrupled because of the ridge and looks the part for a sand machine .

If you completely dyed the parts black and white with the string you could of had a nice zebra effect going.

you know everyone should own a zebra as there good eating. Ive always thought the zebra was a prey animal you know
lunch on legs yellow and black stripes that's more me ,if i had to choose a pelt .

Paul

I'm liking the 'tyedye' effect...can't wait to see more of it and wowser...just wowser there Paul.
Todd

Rumpelstiltskin With all the words Paul mis-spells he gets that one right!(i think)

Lovin' the front end of that! Wheel/tire combo looks great on there. Loooong throw!!

well after dyeing all night i was glad to get to the serious stuff and for all the people wondering what im on its all is revealed in my book coming out soon $14.99 paper back $24.99 for a hard one
and its called "WINNING"
Anyway the parts turned out great and will pull a late one to get some updates .
i want to be able to test and ship this so it meets me there in the uk .I already started the trans nothing special as i have plans on a RPM case and better ratio so this will be something for my mamba max and some paddle tire to work out
i dont think i will have a slipper, and control the take off with minimal punch im toying with the idea of twin belts and a one-way instead of traditional spur and pinion

Looks like a Mad Scientist's work. Interesting to say the least. Loads of pics. I like it!

How did you get the flames dyed onto the front bumper? That looks freakin AWESOME!!!!!!

i used a flame mask and and a large syringe and just washed the colour over the mask a couple of times the bumper took a while there is about four colours on it ,and the new solid white ones don't turn out well.
so i had to use a old school opaque one

the trick i found was to use the Rit powder, and let the dye boil up like milk then blow to cool or carefully remove the pan ,leaving a nice tide mark that stained in a random pattern
then repeat couple of times. random dips
after each colour i washed it then dipped in boiling black ,which seemed to blend the orange and red nicely and i even see some green in there
and then i scrubbed the parts and spayed them with some wd40 to finish the surface .
