Mine showed up today. I'm going for black so I'll try the RIT and report back in a few hours. In past experiences with RIT and black, it has taken a couple doses to get it solid on plastics (never tried to dye Delrin). |

To dye the delrin chassis you want the have the water with the dye in it boiling. Once it is up to a boil put the chassis in and it should take about 4-8 min. Gently stir everything the make sure you dye the chassis evenly. Please wear eye protection and make sure you have a big enough container to do this. The water and dye when heated to a boil will bubble up alot and over flow if you not careful. Children DO NOT attempt this leave this for mom or dad to do. |

Stainless steel pots can be cleaned up after dying, a little bleach and a good brillo pad does the trick....DON'T use aluminum!!! It will stain!

Didn't mean to sound harsh.......Delrin dyes very well if you follow DP's instructions |

Mine came out nice. I dyed it black. I did end up doing 2 runs to get the color nice and solid... First run it was still brownish when held up to a light. I did not follow the DP instructions, but pretty close.  |

:Better" wheels and tires? There isn't anything better out there yet. But you can make the stock one work better with a bit of work, remeber that this chassis works best with heavy tires
