Keep in mind when you do dye, it only goes so far into the part...if you get a big scratch, you'll see it! (ie the bumpers) I think I'm going to dye a chassis etc. and start another build, I just wish I could find a G3R chassis....or wish Mike would email me back....*hint hint, wink wink*

Foxracin 08.12.2009 10:18 PM

The bumpers are already a dark color almost like black already since I stripped the coating off of them so when I dye it if it gets a scratch it wont be that noticeable. Im going to give it a try anyway. Ill have pics. Should have a few parts coming in by the weekend.

Kevlar 08.12.2009 10:22 PM

Keep in mind you can only dye darker than the part, not lighter, so if it is black you may have issues....thats why the RPM arms can come white....

Foxracin 08.12.2009 10:40 PM

Yea, I know. Its kind of a really really dark greenish black in places, pretty much black. Kind of hard to explain just have to see it for yourself. Im dying it all black. So it can only get so black. lol

Kevlar 08.12.2009 11:05 PM

Wicked, I'm looking to go black as well, except the the rockers... now get some build pics up!!!!

Foxracin 08.12.2009 11:23 PM

Ill have some when I get some parts in. Wont be much. Just a chassis, body, rider for the body, and a sway bark it. Need some more money. lol Trying to find a tranny on ebay now. Im going to get the roller how I want it then I will but the electronics for it.

I've always liked this ATV/Steve combo I just never could commit to it. I'm happy to see another after all this time has passed, and It's ben a while. It's very Cool !
.
Looking forward to seeing it done.

Foxracin 08.18.2009 10:11 PM

Yea, I have always wanted to do one but never had anything to do it on until I got the revo. Then I remember the one Traxxas did and looked it up again and had to do it. I think it will look pretty cool going around the track. Should look a MX deal. lol Ill have a different body also for bashing and what not.
