From what you described, that material sounds like its probably acetel (also called delrin). That plastic is not hydroscopic (does not absorb water) so dye will not work very well on it. Most of the plastic parts on a rc that you would typically dye are made of nylon. Nylon is very hydroscopic and dyes very easily.

Anyway. Really sweet conversion. Very clean.

What are those battery straps made out of? Where did you get it? I have been looking for something like that to use instead of gmaxx straps. It looks almost like seatbelt material. That looks like it will hold up much better than the material the gmaxx straps are made from.
