Just finished dyeing Traxxas parts for my 2nd XRT build. Didn't want to use the kitchen due to the larger parts and saw a Youtube video of someone adding boiling water with Rit dye to a bucket. Tried this method and it turned out great....let it sit in the bucket for almost 24 hours just in case.

Those parts came out nice. I didn't know you could dye them.
