Samurai #6!!!!
I was alerted by email of a Samurai listing on ebay. There were two pictures of what appeared to be a complete buggy for $45.00. I bought it hoping that if it was missing something I would have a spare for it from some leftovers I had. Turns out it wasn't missing much and I had everything to complete it! It was rebuilt with bearings and all the red plastic was dyed with Rit clothing dye. The tires were deformed and had flat spots so I bought AKA 1/10 4wd buggy foam inserts, the tires are usable now. I have a body, but just need to decide on paint. Thanks for looking!
If you liked those pictures, you should see these...

I agree! The parts took the dye well. I'm actually going to dye them again cause I didn't have enough when I did it.

I like the black plastic, nice change from the red, this would look great with my White Samurai body, tamkyo-reprodecals on ebay did a black lettered set of his Samurai repros. Might be an option for you.
Road Burner

Road Burner

To update: I have painted a TBG body black and used the leftover decals from a Samurai and some misc ones. I am going to re-dye the parts, finish the wheels and tires and it's done!
