RE: It's Sunday! That must mean it's video time!!!

How quickly can you stop an 8 pound buggy?

RE: It's Sunday! That must mean it's video time!!!
That is crazy! After watching that stuff, and reading about 1/8 scale buggies, I almost want to go out and buy one. I won't though, because unfortunately I bounce around from hobby to hobby. My wife is absolutely ecstatic about that! As a matter of fact, just yesterday I unpacked my Losi GTX after it being boxed up for at least three years. My 4 year old boy just got a kick out of watching it zip up and down the street.
What's the consensus on jumping 1/10 stadium trucks? Am I in dreamland? Are there any mods that I could do to improve it's hardiness?
I'd also like to find somebody to race around with on a track near Corona, CA. I remember seeing one off the 60 freeway just east of I-15, but I really don't want to drive that far.
Thanks.
Roy

All the talk about dyeing the Hyper 7 wing, I did it. I dyed mine black. I also dyed a set of OFNA 1/8 scale white RIMs black. I took the original wing that came with my buggy, cleaned it and dyed it. Will be posting pictures tomorrow.

Here is my dye job - the colors did not come out evenly as I expected. The close up of the wing you can see what I am saying. I like it but wish it came out a with a cleaner look. Even the wheels were un even on the color. Looks like it ran.
For my Hyper 7 body right now I still have the stock one, but will be painting another this weekend. Trying to make a reverse lettering paint mask to have my web site address painted inside the body as part of paint job on each side. I will make the masking myself. And will have the drip look from the front. The main color of the ody will be black, not sure what colors to do the lettering and the drip look. Was thinking of a red edge on the drip look and fade to yellow so it will look orangish/red/yellow on the drips and do the letters some bright green or something.
Tell me what you think or what other color sceem with the black being the primary color.

RE: It's Sunday! That must mean it's video time!!!
Well the proccess is something my wife and I got into it about. I made a BIG GIANTIC MESS!!! In the kitchen that she had to help clean up. [X(]
I boiled the dye in a pan of water and put the wing in first and then put wheels in and my wife helped me make sure most everything stayed unter water. Man it was a huge mess. Then after about 10 - 15 min took it out of water and let dry over night in my garage. It was to cold to dry so this morning I hit it with a heat gun to finish drying.
Used Rit dye.
