I have wanted to get a older Nova head anodized black, but not even checked the price on it cause I know it won't be that cheap to do.

Any metal plating or anodizing place should be able to anodize something alloy to whatever colour you want, but one offs and small batch lots are expensive to get done.

i've paid $70 for a full car to be anodised once. It isn't that expensive. the place is in Newtown, Sydney.

Only time you can get it done for less, is some places will put your gear in with a larger batch from someone else, but that is assuming it's the colour you wanted, and often you may wait a few weeks to get it done.

The problem lies within the minimum batch fee, be it one head, chassis, or whatever, it would likely be that same $70 at that place regardless, minimum fee in general I think anywhere is from $60-$120 depending on colour etc.

If you get it anodised make sure you don't get the clear coat otherwise it will look shiney. RC cars are just a straight anodise, no clear coat.

Lars spends as much time on the MTX5 thread as i do on the cap thread.
Lars, i've been eying out some capricorn parts for the MTX5, those teflon ball ends look cool, don't think i need them, but they look cool. When is capricorn going to release some lightweight parts for the 5!?

And if you convert the car to the white ball ends you can also get the aluminum uniball set.

Best thing with LiFe, my five has not been run in months, I checked the charge state on the LiFe yesterday, and it was perfect, I could have thrown it on the track without even charging it.

Greg is one of the nicest grand dads that any nephew could ask for, quite possibly didn't have the same opportunities we enjoy. I have no problems understanding him and enjoy his feed back.
