I'd say go get one, I have had some shafties b4 (pro4 and TC4) but this one is the bomb, low cg, responsive steering, and it's pretty. I'd say if you can get a good deal go get one and besides it's still faairly new, evo VI may come out after 3 years.

What do you want the Titanium color for?
I can get you some that are aluminum colored, or you can buy the blue ones at SIR and have them re-anodized.

get the blue ones and a little easy off oven cleaner.

I`m Back
Hey Evo 5 Guys; Sorry I didn`t get back. My computer was out for 2-Months.
My Evo 5 runs alright now. It only has a small problem going to the right during a straight.....(It will go straight for about 35-Yards; then it will go to the right). I think it`s the way I set-up the Front Shocks(1-1/2mm of more Pre-Load on the front shocks should/might fix the problem).....?
(I fixed the totally won`t hold a straight line problem by putting on New Tires and giving it 1-Degree of Front Toe-In.)
I must give thanks to the guys at Brooklyn Hobbies(Brooklyn) and Nagengast Hobbies(Queens) in New York City. They helped me order those -Hard To Get- Tamiya Parts.
Take Care
