Cool I will see what i can find here...I know a lot of the drift guys use aluminum rims so there should be some for decent price. The pipe I am not sure about though.

haven't seen any red linkage rods but here is a trick that works, buy chrome linkage rods and color them in with a red sharpie works great and looks exactly like red anodized aluminum. Will work with other colors also for the purple ,blue ect. fans. If you can't find the chrome buy them black sand of the finnish till all is gone, rub them down with 000 steel wool to polish them nice and shiny befor you color them.

If I can't find red I will give that a try, Thanks I am having a heck of a time finding a red pipe man!

I have never seen a red pipe before. You may just have to use a regular one and anodize or powder coat it.

yep same here 20 years messing with RC never seen a red pipe there is a great article on anodizing on the net I use the method and it works great very easy to do but can also be dangerous if not done correctly.

Can you give me a link to it?

 

[epicdoom]

ok here is the link I have been doing this for years and I have a great understanding of the chemicals and items used, since I deal with these items on a daily bassis through my Job. If you have any doubt after reading the information DONT TRY THIS. I assume no responsibility for any information read or tried here. I read for a month everyday about this. I suggest you do the same, read about chargers, battery acid, Dyes, and even the container you perform this in READ READ READ.

search the net for more information there's tons of it on the subject as well as kits with everything needed to do from small scale to large production opreations. I am a Mechanic and Machinest I have my own machine shop and have been making and anodizing my own parts for RC, paintball, airsoft,motorcycles and the like for many years now. I will also tell you check your local laws as this may not be legal in some places or may be regulated by state and local laws, this is only one article on anodizing there are many more. search them out on google
