Go .18 engine pulled down to bare block and powder coated- mirror black case and tuscan black cooling jacket ( flat black) oiled and reassembled - ive been powdercoating for quite some time now and figure I would try coating a couple nitro engines and they look really good when done!

$45 plus shipping USA only



 
RRRick, i had mike do my gizmo steel victory pipe last year in black metallic hitemp powder coat. It has held up beautifully! No fading, discoloration, or flaking/peeling after 2 seasons. I can certainly recommend having it done, & having mike do it.
 
I can do pipes but they have to be done in high temp powder which is VERY limited in color --I have the black metalic that robin has on his pipe and a gloss black - the pipe has to be able to handle up to 500° in the oven the blacks I have are good for 600° to 1200° --regular powder wont hold up to pipe temps and that kills out a ton of color options

Im a little hung up on how to price RC parts but yes you an coat SS steel aluminum cast aluminum I could coat wood if it didnt leach sap and water when it went in the oven (at least pine does lol)

Gotcha,

Thanks for the reply. Was hoping for Kewl Colors being avaiable (purple or green) for my wife's CT.
 
yeah not bad little engines - when you cross a go .18 with an OS18tz and trx 3.3 you get a good running revo--wasnt quite as good as the stock 3.3 was but the 3.3 is a beast --the hybird ran really well though

Hey I got a Revo like that and need an engine,what will work in it
 
The stock traxxas 3.3 is hard to beat for the price, mikey! The wife's 3.3 revo runs awesome with a rdlogics pipe.
 
yeah the actual 3.3 is a little powerhouse and traxxas has a trade-in program on their engines so price is hard to beat to
