white kyosho JAVELIN black chassis
I had this in mind for a while but no time to finish it. As often, i wanted something different but I have no tools and no particular skills to create custom parts .
Very few javelins have been modified concerning their colour, now I now why....
the previous owner had dyed this body in black but there was some metallic reflections and the colour wasn't very deep. I tried to bleach it but no way so I decided to paint it... I had the hardest time ever to paint this as the original orange seems to come up through the coats of paint, a nightmare ! the chassis parts are painted with high temp paint but this was not easy either.
this javelin being special, I decided to take the pictures in my studio, as I would do for perfumes or jewelry, which makes it even more time-consuming, but I hope you like it.

Surreal, I just love it! I have a black and a red Javelin (easily dyed and they came out great), but I never thought of white: it looks amazing. How did you do with the gold shocks: paint, anodization..?

Oh, and it would be cool to have this special one in the Javelins Galore SIG!

Amazing buggy! Why can't they make buggies that look this good any more? The concept has worked well for HPI with the 5B -- I don't get it.

guess who is the father of the HPI 5B ?
I would be honoured to put it in the javelins galore SIG but I don't know how...

I can be wrong but it seems you used the Mid wing, and why in black and not white?

I'm waiting for an aluminium wing from aki, aka plazmost on ebay,that will suit the car better. you can of course display the car on your blog, I'm honoured.
