I was wondering about that. As much as i love gravedigger i did not want to have to paint that chassis.

Thanks for trying that. I tried dying some Carter Fab white delrin Methods, and the dye didn't take... This chassis looks like it absorbs the dye great! Looking forward to your build. |

Chassis came out damn near perfect. There were a few small patches that didn't take all the way for some reason, but they are hard to spot and will be hidden by the body anyway.   |

I know a lot of people hate on Traxxas, but I'm a huge fan of them and have nothing put positive things to say about their customer service and products. Been using their stuff for a decade and a half. I have a velenion brushless system arriving Monday and will be running their 3S Lipos as well. I was sad to see this truck go.       |

Got all the cosmetics done today. My velenion brushless system comes in tomorrow and I have a new 3S lipo ready to go. I can't wait to rip this thing.    |

Black looks 100x better. Hows the GD body look with the cage black? |

Nice job dying that chassis, I woulda never thought it would work so good on the green plastic.
