I can't seem to create a poll so I'll just ask

what is your prefered option part colour?

- blue
- red
- plain alu / not coloured / white
- black/gun metal/dark coloured/sealth
- same colour as my other parts on my car

if you have any other wacky ideas such as purple... ( :P ) then feel free to say also, but if you could choose one from the above list also

I have to admit to loving the tamiya light blue, gunmetal is awesome as well though!

Red would be great but otherwise it's blue to match the rest of the stuff on the cars

The X-Ray orange as per T2-009, looks a bit special - Durango have also added a splash of it on their shock collars, as have schumacher. Looks a classy touch.

I also like the x-ray, but black anodised looks great. blends in nice with the carbon, wiring etc

thanks for the quick replies, keep them comming, just to add more to this, would you not buy a part if it happened to be the 'wrong' colour?

I've always liked green anodising on CeFX 1/12th cars, but colour isn't really important to me.

Gunmetal with a bit of red thrown in for good measure.

A bit like this! (the gunmetal could be a tad darker though...)

Only if i could easily get the same part in a colour i preferred. (but i guess thats fairly obvious anyway? :))

I think the Tamiya blue is the most "bling" look :)

Tam blue is a bit sexy, but as an option part it would have to be polished or red! ooooooh yehhhhhhhhhh

Liverpool red is what I should go for, but I just prefer the blue anodising!


Gun metal over everything though, as it looks classy and expensive.

don't care on the colour to be honest, if it is bling it got to be bling, but otherwise, nope

You can't have 2 odd colors on a car - no way!! Unless one of them is silver/black/gun metal.

I've had occasions where i've wanted to put blue stuff on a car with other stuff that is purple - blue is easily removed with a dremel wire wheel! and purple can be re-applied with a sharpie.

Hard anodized or gold for aftermarket parts. For myself, hot pink or acid lime green always are my choices. But I'm weird like that. :woot:

Blue still gets my vote, ever since all those Blue Trinity parts you used to get for the Losi XX i have loved that colour!

Some funky options here though, not seen much of Bronze!

Blue is better. And, aside from black and silver, the only non-gay option.

Black ano and cut silver edges - like Cat SX or I belive Xray XB808 or so. I really like that style.

My vote is for red or orange, just because I think that there's too much blue out there and Red's my favorite color.

But green or the 'hudy spring steel' color would also be nice for a change...

Yup, and i don't like the "yellow" much!
