I hear ya...Red Ti-Ni would, in fact, be awesome...but the Rainbow Ti-Ni would look very good, as well as give the Parts (and the whole Truck) a Unique look that would add that "Over the Top" look & feel!
Of course, you could just Anodize the Hingepins (Red, or any other Color, if they are Titanium), as well as Anodize the CVDs (Red, or any other Color), since they
ARE Titanium...that would be awesome!
As for the Pillow-Balls (Pivot-Balls, as some people call them), Ti-Ni coating them would be my first choice, especially in Gold or Rainbow, but if they are Titanium, Anodizing them in off-setting colors (Black PBs in the upper Red Arms & Red PBs in the lower Black Arms) would be my second choice...but, of course, they are not my parts or trucks, they're yours, so it's obviously up to you what you do, not me.
I also think there is another option for the Hingepins, Pillow-Balls & CVDs; Ti-Ni coat all of them in GOLD...that would not only be Completely Awesome, it would give the truck(s) a Super-High-End look, a look of Royalty even! Against all of the Red & Black Anodizing, the Gold Anodized Pins, PBs & CVDs would just make the truck "POP!"
One last thing for now; Since you don't plan on bashing or beating the crap out of these trucks, I have another "colorful" idea for you...you could replace all of the Black and/or Silver Steel Screws with Pre-Anodized Aluminum Screws! You can get high-quality Aluminum Screws in many different colors, including; Red, Black & Gold, which would finish off the trucks PERFECTLY! You could use Red Screws where they screw into Black Parts, use Black Screws where they screw into Red Parts, and use Gold Screws where they screw into Silver Parts...like the Front, Center & Rear Skidplates, and anywhere else where the Red or Black Screws just don't look good.
To ease your mind a bit, I Jump & Bash the snot out of my highly-modified RCM Brushless Revo 3.3 (MMM/2200kV), and it's got a bunch of FullForce Blue-Anodized Aluminum Screws holding it together, and I have never broken or stripped any of its Aluminum Screws! I
think they are 7075-T6 Aluminum Screws, but I
know that they are crazy-strong & durable!
If you are worried about using Aluminum Screws, you could always buy the Great Assembly (GA) 12.9 Grade Blue-Anodized Steel Screws and have them stripped back to Silver, then Re-Anodized Red, Black & Gold...just an idea!
P.S: I just thought of something else...you should get a pair of the Aluminum Upper-Rear Link-Ends that Ofna makes (for the Monster Pirate I think) and Anodize them Red to replace the stock Black Plastic Racer-X Link-Ends (Ball-Ends)...they look nothing short of amazing, and they would look even better Anodized Red!!!
These are what I'm talking about...
