I finally found a local place that will TiNi coat titanium/steel, as well as AlTiNi coat aluminum (yep, aluminum can be TiNi Coated) parts on my Supermaxxes!

On my finished SM, what all do you guys think should be TiNi coated (GOLD)? I am thinking the 8mm Ti CVDs, Ti Pillow-Balls, VBS Hingepins, All of the Screws, the 51T Spur & Motor-Pinion, the Diff Rings & Pinions...what else do you guys think I should do?

I am also thinking about having every aluminum piece Chrome-Plated...how awesome would that look? Better than fully polished, and will never have to be repolished! I am also thinking about having all the aluminum parts Gold-Chrome Plated or Gold AlTiNi Coated...that would be friggin' sweet! It looks like real 24k gold-plating, but it's just a gold-chrome!

EDIT: Another possibility would be to have all of the aluminum Copper-Plated...that would look sick wit all of the gold TiNi coated parts!

Please leave feedback!

So you found a place to get it done, but how much is going to cost? Can they do it by lot (considering such tiny parts), or are they going to hit you for each part ($5-$10)? I mean if you can do a pile of R/C parts for like $100 that would be just awsome. Crome plating aluminum sounds a little weak, but if your never going to actually drive the vehicle it will stay nice looking. Doing anything in copper would look great at first, but when it starts to tarnish and you have to polish it two or three times a year that will suck. Tini coating the screws will look cool.


SUPERMAXX YOUR LIFE.
