Seriously? Well dam...Why not? Is that the anodizing is effectively a "coat" of paint that hardens? And the titanium properties allow a modest amount of give?

Anodizing is not a "coat of paint" - it is an electrolytically created layer of oxide on the surface of a part. The color is from a dye that is incorporated into the oxide layer. However this wikipedia article mentions that anodizing can be done for a number of different metals including Titanium: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anodizing

I think anodizing titanium is just a slightly different process(or same process, different solution) vs aluminum - when anodizing aluminum, the parts are suspended in the solution with titanium.

Mike -

Okay...I was able to purchase this concept. If i shipped it to you...would you be up to working on it to finish the design? I bought for the Flextec Arms...the chassis was a plus but I don't have the skill or contacts to complete the build.


You up to it? If not you got a name of someone you trust?

I wouldn't mind the project, but couldn't take it on at the moment. I need to finish a few other projects 1st.

If you serious I've got nothing but time...PM your shipping address and I'll send in Jan 2016.

Check out coloring titanium with heat. There are youtube vids. It gives the titanium a very cool rainbow color and is very easy to do.

Mike - reading my reply to your post I noticed missed a golden opportunity to jab you.

Quote from MonsterMike "I need to finish a few other projects 1st."

My reply should have been a "Yep! And at the top of that list should be Hybrid Revo Diffs." Stating it now it even feels like a missed opportunity.

Oh well....back to my cave.
