Alloy parts colors

I have a one day old Stock Viper and I've looked around for parts at the LHS, Tower and here more than anywhere else, and I'm curious about the general availability of different colors of alloy parts. I like performance parts but I don't want my Mini to end up looking like a rainbow when I pop the bod. Purple ? Blue ? Silver/Titanium color ?

Oh, last but not least... are there titanium parts available? I just have a hardon for titanium since I was a kid... ie I have a titanium watch, titanium Oakley sunglasses, and just about anything else I can find....

Most RCRM/Eagle alloy parts are available in silver and blue. With GPM you can get all kinds, like purple, gold, silver, blue, pink, ... The only titanium parts I'm aware of right now are the screw sets from GPM. You're not going to be able to find any of these parts at your LHS or Tower though!

I'd like to know if the Eagle Racing Competition Roll Shock Set (MZR-132) is the same color as Eagle Racing Rear Shock Set (MZR-97).

Also, I'd like to know about how fast you could get me a RCRM Ball Diff (RC-7).

Thanks.

Hahahah sweet! I used to have a Titanium Navy seals watch, before I lost it , I also have Oakley T-Wires...

They're cool, but the novelty of Ti has worn off some. I kinda like the A-wires now.

Kin.: yes, the roll shock sets are the same color, the darker blue anodized color. We're currently sold out of the RCRM Diff but should be able to get them in a week or less if you'd like to pre-order. Thanks!

Ordered the roll shocks... Emailed about preordering the ball diff...

How about that "Eagle Modified Front Steering Block Set" ? I'm guessing it's the lighter blue alloy...

The steering blocks are lighter, though to be honest it's quite hard to tell and I'm not sure it would be noticable once installed.

Mini-z, I still wonder: what's the difference between the Competition Roll Shock and the (Regular?) Roll Shock? They are both in the shop, but no picture of the Competition.

DJ,
I believe the only difference is the "comp" shocks come with all three sets of springs...

That is correct; sorry about the lack of picture, we'll be adding them soon!

Is it too much to hope that the Eagle Front Bulkhead is the nice dark blue one on this page ?
