while nylon also has a kind of milky color in its natural state it has more of a yellowish tint to it than what I see in your pictures.

If it is Polyprop. That won't dye well either. I use polyprop. containers to dye in cuz it doesnt stain them.

OK, Hydrodancer, you owe me $1.47 (the price of the RIT dye)! ;)

It didn't work well at all. At most, they are tinted black. Not even the relatively rough cut marks took the dye well. At least the coloring will be closer to black/gunmetal than white was.

All is not lost, though. At the same time, I dyed one of my daughter's tanktops and she is happy.

A little update. I just sent the whole buggy in to Mike so he can custom make a combination diff mount and motor mount out of Al. I took pictures and stuff, but it'll be easier if he has the whole thing to play with. I'm pretty psyched. :dft003:

Cool man, can't wait to see it done. I am working on a design for a motor mount/diff mount with Mike for my LSP at the moment...

I can't wait either, but I gave Mike plenty of time to work on it (~Feb) so he can take his time and so I can build up some cash. I might just have him hold it until I get the motor, ESC, and batts all at once. Maybe by then, I'll have 2,000 posts and get a coupon. :) j/k.

I was going to try to do it myself, but there's no way I was going to be able to make an integrated design that would fit right and be sturdy.

Exactly why I am letting Mike cnc me a motor/diff mount. I have tried to make make one on my e-maxx and could not get it sturdy enough...

So you decided to finish the emaxx after all, eh? Oh well, it's only money right? You can't take it with you. :027:
