Proline released a picture b5m phantom body. From that angle it looks real nice. For you tight asses calm down it's just my opinion.

So who has some good pictures with a Reventon installed?
Can't find anything.

When you're sponsored and get parts at low low prices or for free sure, you don't need the TiN coated shock shafts. However I've found that the coating does two things that are great for club racers. Not to mention if it wasn't a good thing to have then why do you see just about all the manufacturers using it?
1. The coating is harder thus the shafts last longer with less wear on the diameter of the shaft.
2. You can SEE how the shock shafts wear throughout time, when the coating is showing thin or rubbed off completely you know it's time for a new set. You can't SEE any difference when the shafts have no coating.

If it were harder (or real TiNi coating) it would not wear off. The hardest component (by far) in the system is the shock shaft. You will never wear the O.D. of your shock shafts in any condition that an rc car runs in.
This has never been more that "shiny stuff" to be used as jewelry on our toys. 1/8 cars don't bother with it for the most part. Hardened, hard-chromed steel is as hard and smooth as it gets or is needed. Coatings are good for softer metals (aluminum, brass) to gain surface hardness.

+1 this guy is %100 right I used to sell carbide cutting tools and the coating on the shafts should never wear off under rc conditions. They use an electrical current to get the coating to bond to the metal and It is just used to harden the outside of the material you are coating.

lol you have never seen TLR's gold shafts, lol. they are silver after a month or 2. I dont think Kyosho or most 8th scales use the gold coating. And everyone talks about the greatness of the kyosho shocks.... I also dont see any of the sponsored rivers using the gold shaft. Since they get them for cheap or free, why would car and maifield choose to no use them?

Really? Must be annodized then? Because silicone and rubber rings wouldn't break down the coating even after 100 years of use (friction) against a silicone lubricated Tin coated shock shaft.
