David, Thanks! I was a little nervous to dye them, but after some good advice from the forum members, I decided to try it. I left them in the dye for 1 hr. I used almost a whole bottle of dye..probably a lot of waste, but, for a $4- bottle of dye, it was worth the end results.

Don't forget to put a little white vinegar into the water before heating the water. The vinegar opens the pores of the plastic. A tip from another member. ( I used a total of 4-5oz. total )

Nice looking crt.5 there! The wheels look great. I have the same tires on my .5 but used the boring looking traxxas wheels... Those laced spoke wheels look soooo much better. Must be reasonably light with your setup, probably handles well!
