Some custom multi color anodizing for the RC8FT, Almost time for reassembly!

[The Cow]

Hello my friends,

I know its not for everyone but I am stoked! A nice big parts order to replace all the bent shafts, steering posts, and odds and ends, then I am good to go

Thank you! I dont know if you notice but both the chassis and the wrench is anodized in multiple colors

Wrench - green/black
Chassis - grey/black

all the work was done by Janeth at 1offrc.com, great customer service with honest prices... Not to mention I dont know of anyone else that does multi color anodizing, I thought it was pretty trick!

We ended up going with the cowprint instead but here is a pic of something else we tried... this is actually 3 color anodizing green,grey,black

Finished pics!?! Wanna say what the price was on that?

[Finnster]

Very nice indeed. What is the lot charge for a single color? When I get my Sav all done I'd like to have a number of parts stripped and anodized. The purple is terrible...

I asked Janeth about this for you

Here is her reply...

"Hi Heath,
Thanks for helping me get out there. I have priced RC'ers from as low as $35 for a set of carriers and pin braces 8 parts to $350 for a full aluminoid nitro Savage lots and lots of parts. shiftcolor to red silver and blue to match his US flag Body Shell. For your job yes you got a good deal but have helped me out a bunch and gave me lots of time. . To do a job like yours again the custom logo decals run me $27 to make and it would be two color job It would be about $190 for two ccolors for all your parts or w/logo and custom masking and all parts $225
one or two color choice is about the same price
more colors or custom masking ( cow print etc ) would be more depending on materials used
I always return ship Priority Mail
Janreth"

Hope that helps!

I am not sure I can "quote" my price for the custom anodizing but I will check what it would normally cost... All the parts above with none of the custom multi color stuff, Just chassis in black and all remaining parts(including the titanium rods, yup she does titanium to) in green was quoted at $150 with return shipping, obviously if I was to have done all one color it would have been cheaper...

Bottom line though Janeths aim to please and customer service has been top notch!

Better reset quik.... Sorry guys dont mind my meaningless banter

Didnt't mean to miss your post, The phaltlines are great! Keep in mind with any real power they will need a good belting however if you are pushing more then 60-70mph and doing it all day they do leave a bit to be desired IMO however I cant fault them as the tires are obviously not meant for the abuse I put them through

I am working on it though, Just might have some custom Blast with low pro foams in my future but cant say to much about that just yet

Hope that helps!

[The Cow]

So much to do and so little time... She is about halfway assembled (as she has sit for months unfortunately). Just need to find some time to order some parts and finish the task. You guys will know when she hits the streets for sure =)
