i second that...!

 

[flash]

me too...i ended up getting my shock towers for my k2 from ratzas just so they would match the chassis and carbon fiber stuff. bout time they woke up and offered something other than blue. maybe orange will be next. thats what I'm waiting for. :idea:

is it possible to anodize at home? or is it some crazy high temp, acidic process?

 

[flash]

i saw a post on another forum about how to do it. look areound and I'm sure you can find something. the process i saw was to soak the part in simple green and put electricity (DC) to it. different currents/times will produce different colors. I'm not going to try it personally, but they say its very safe and you can keep parts looking new forever.

Sounds really safe? Who wants to try it first then?

i think black chrome is kinda neat too

 

[flash]

oh...to clarify: dont put the voltage to the actual part. put it in the fluid so that the two wires do not touch.
my reason for not doing this is because i haven't made the time to do so. why should i when its just as easy for me to buy what i want?

Black Anodized aluminum does look awesome.. The Eck Tec optionals for the MBX5 come in all black, which looks sweet!

I've actually heard that "hard anodized" parts are the strongest, but that you can only do those in silver/gray/black tones, and trying to anodize a color over the hard anodizing takes away the extra strength.. Anyone heard about that?

I have never heard of that, but sounds true to me. The parts that are silver, grey and black do look a little beefier (in person) than their colored counter parts. Good info and thanks for sharing with us. Once again welcome to the board!

Even if you use the maximum suggested battery setup in Flash's link, it's only 63 volts. Hardly enough to kill anything. Although, I wouldn't want to touch it with my tongue.

Volts means absoutly nothing! I've been hit with 220 and I'm still here, its the current that will kill you. You can be killed with only 1 amp.

I always thought that it was the voltage that hurt, not current, when it came to getting shocked. But, it makes sense because a car battery can kill you pretty quick and it's only 12v - but practically unlimited amps.

The phone line is 90v and I touched that to my tongue once (I thought it was something like 5v heh) and that hurt like a bastard, but it's probably low amps.

I wonder how much current a string of 9V's can put out.
