Although that is true, my coolness level would drop to where yours is

The internet considering how cool you are

Simmer it in a large pot submerged for 1 hr. Let sit in pot overnight. Works great looks great! I even threw my shockwears in to dye the lettering black

 

[PortCityRC]

I like it

Also when you go to buy the dye get the liquid. And the technical color i used was graphite they didn’t have black anywhere I looked. But the graphite is definitely black..

Hell of a job on that tank. Definitely looks like something I'll do when time permits.

You can still buy the triton wheels themselves and add slicks. You'll likely have to as that particular wheel setup you're talking about has been out for about 2 years lol

So I got a good deal on a spare sx5 cage since my carbon one was missing mounts. This spare one came with everything except the lexan panels. So I took the mounts off it for the carbon setup.

Made some panels for this spare cage out of kydex. Took a bit, I'm pretty happy how the sides, roof, and hood came out but feel the back is still naked. Not sure what I'll do to finish the back off

 

[blackrain]

Looks good mabe do some kind of black mesh for the areas you can't cover

 

[misterleon]

Will that be your running body?

 

[John Parks]

Will that be your running body?

Very likely, but have considered selling it also.

 

[Crazybajabuild]

Very nice man!! I've been toying with mine also..

 

[John Parks]

Opinions everyone. I'm not sure If I'm digging the color. I like it but I don't lol, it's almost brown to me. He said it did come out dark but he would redo it if needed.

 

[DougStar]

Nothing like brown

 

[John Parks]

Nothing like brown
