Traxxas X-MAXX 8S full teardown/rebuild, and dyeing the ugly away!

I tore the X-MAXX apart, cleaned the heck out of if, and I did some experimenting with RIT dye while it was all apart. I’m very pleased with the results. not quite a how-to, but maybe more of a “you can do it too” kind of thing.
10 minutes boil time per part/section
5-7 heat worked just fine on my electric stovetop once it was boiling
RIT Liquid black clothing dye was what I used.
MUSIC:
KAVERN - Ebb and Flow
Sorsari - Blitz

Looks sick….. I’m going to be attempting some tinting with green over the grey parts to see what I get…… if it looks like shit I’ll just dye black over it

thank you man! and good luck, it’ll definitely be dark, but hopefully it all works out for you.

thank you! and that’s the Garrett GTX3071R that’s now in my Mazdaspeed 6. I actually recorded a video just last night of a much better (some small issues sorted) pull than my other video on 17psi, it’s now on 21psi and E30, she’s pulling pretty good :)
go check out the vid!
