I like that hydro-dipping is extremely thin unlike vinyl wraps, and weighs next to nothing.

How to mourn the loss of your silver, red or blue plated M-chassis, in an easy 4 step process.
Step 1:
Hot lap the field at the last trophy race. (Your results may vary)
Step 2:
Disassemble car back down to the exploded view from the manual.
Step 2b:
Forget to write down hot setup from last trophy race.
Step 3:
Send a new, non-plated chassis out for hydrodipping service. I reccomend Maine Coast Customs. Pick a design or color that will set your M-chassis apart from the crowd and help you forget all the stripped screw holes in your previous chassis.
STEP 4:
Assemble with pride.

… hard to see what color you went with in the photo? Can't wait for 2016 season to start, although not happy just ordered my Reedy 21.5. Did you have something to do with this?

Isn't that a wood grain pattern? Like found in your dad's cars?

The only way to make an M-chassis better is woodgrain

I'm thinking plaid.

It looks nice, but how much does it weigh??? You can use CA glue to strengthen stripped holes....

It's balsawood, very light.

Yeah.
Stay away from teak and mahogany. Those woods are heavy.

Just stumbled across this howardcano classic in an old thread
Yes. I was born with a hot soldering iron in my hand... my mom said that hurt.

Nah this is the M-chassis thread. We understeer, not oversteer.

I thought my comment about Pinocchio was more creative, but perhaps more offensive.
