Purple turnbuckles?
 
Anyone know of any 'proper' purple turnbuckles that are available, because the ones that come with HPI/HB kits look decidedly dull. They go to the trouble of anodizing everything and then stick shabby looking turnbuckles on it! :thumbdown:

I've recently ordered some lovely pinky-purple screws from Japan that match HPI's alloy spot on, and wanted some nice matching pinky-purple turnbuckles for the chassis too, but haven't been able to find any. Considering just buying some silver titanium ones instead at this rate.

So, anyone seen any... ever... ? :)

Find a local anodizer and get all your bits redone to whatever colour you want all in 1 batch. simples

That's something I've looked into previously for bigger jobs than just a few turnbuckles and they dont usually want to entertain a job so small. Sometimes you find if you can get your few parts done with someone else's order at the same time they'll stick them through for you, but I'm not sure how many people will be having things anodized in "HPI pink"... ;)

Thanks for the offer, I appreciate it. :) Unfortunately they look about the same as my current Pro4 turnbuckles, a sort of faded purple colour.

I was wondering whether anyone had ever seen any aftermarket turnbuckles to buy which were the same colour as the HPI/HB aluminium parts such as the motor mounts, bulkheads, wishbone mounts etc. I think I'm going to get some silver titanium ones instead, at least they will match my stainless screws. Not to worry...
