it does indeed to pure white.
I must admit I have struggled with this idea before. I could certainly do printed decal sheets before (and have even helped a few people on the side) and now being able to print white means I should be able to remake a sticker sheet properly. Just need to chose an appropriate vinyl to use. What I will struggle with though is artwork, unless I can get print ready artwork, I will be slow to produce stickers as work is flat out (the reason I got this beast). But something like @Willy iine's hood numbers should be pretty easy.
arrr ok you may not be able to do what i want then (witch is a full size decal to fit on the side of a reefa trailer)

my new inkjet printer arrived too (well I've actually had it for two weeks, what arrived was Phil the technician to set it up
). It took him 3 hours to get it out of the box to this stage where he could boot it up. Tomorrow it gets commissioned and I can do some test prints (and actual jobs!). This is a business purchase, but it will allow me to print my own decals, using white ink on clear. I've got a couple sets I've made up that I will try tomorrow and will post the results.
ink cartridges and printheads, each ink cartridge holds 1 litre of ink! Colours are White, black, magenta, light magenta, cyan and light cyan. Plus two mixture cartridges (no idea yet what they do) and an optimiser fluid for helping it stick to different media
wow that's a beaut you say that for buisness purpose cause if so i could give you a order

you could always try a plating company close to you but it may be expensive plus if the plastic is old it could be brittle and may get damaged in the process
but try and find a platers that do small stuff

swoped out the rear damper cylinders with nos on the hornet after the originals leaked the oil out when i serviced them last month
changed the front uprights on the manta ray
deceided to have another go at the grand hauler steering mod swoped the rod ends for offset ones to give even better angle and seems to have done the trick. swoped the servo saver for a alloy one also that just happened to fly through the letter box while i was doing the steering mod gonna order the same parts for the merc truck

Thanks for the info. I am also getting some new shocks for my TT02B, so I will have some spare dampers - I might try that 5th shock mod.
you could also get hop-up 84365 cw-01 short shock unit set 2 yellow style
i got a set from tony a coupe of years back when i went to his place to collect a order seeing this i remember i have still yet to build and fit them
-
swoped out the stock steering arm for a cranked one on my grand hauler also added a hop-up alloy air tank i brought last year. it's not where i wanted to put it but i aint taking it apart to put it half way up the chassis so its on the rear part know.

that is one thing i dont spake is the "queens engish" if i was talking to you you prob would not under stand me
they do look great i may have a go at doing this in my merc when i get a right hand drive dash.
i did manage to convert the dash in my grand hauler to right hand drive and installed a fibre optic system its not pretty as them dash's but it does serve a purpose and it cant be seen that much anyway as i have tinted the windows

just a pair of uprights from tony for my manta ray but they are black and not the red as the black are the first pair to come up for sale for a while when the red finally crop up i may get them but for me the black look better than the red

look at tit this way what ever is not in the re re kit compared to the original i recon they will get released as hop-ups witch if this happens then at least we will still be able to have it close to the original
-
your all cancelling orders just because it don't come with blister packs you will regret doing it i aint happy either but i certainly aint gonna cancel my order as i have been waiting for this re-re since the 90's the re-re top force does not come with blisters either and that dont make it a useless rc this may a new trend with tamiya or it may be them cheaping out on the packaging who knows but it will still be a collectable kit nether the less

Went to the Dawn Service to pay respect to ours and our brothers (Aus) fallen heroes,
i know it may sound daft but i remember seeing a episode from either the 1st or 2nd series of home and away when they cover'd this i think alf n his mad sister lost someone

ive just finished watching terri wilds latest build of a king hauler and in his latest video he does the steering mod
i noticed the wheels looked the same as what i saw a chap on u-tube called bruce wilson on a full sized truck he did up.
i think i only have a cheap servos on my grand hauler and i cant remember if i have the hop-up alloy servo saver and mount
the colour really pops in the sun and is house of color paint

the wheels look great are they meant to be alcoa reps
i went for the tamiya hop-up reps on mine as the tamiya originals are "1" hard to find know and "2" really pricey i got the full set to include the trailer also for the price of the front ones sell for but i did have to buy a set of tyres as i glued them on the kit ones i found the rear wheels do catch the full fenders so i had to put a spacer between the chassis and the fenders to clear the wheels and i also ordered a cranked steering bar to try with the cranked rod ends i already got .
the gear stick is a great idea the driver looks great also

Nice! I only run the basic 2 channel on my Willy's, but even those have telemetry for the receiver pack voltage now. For me comes in handy when I'm doing a mechanical speed controller vintage run. I too definitely enjoy NOT having a binding plug anymore.
i think i have the spektrum 2 or 3 channel on in either my wild willie or honda turbo also
