Default Powder coating brass?

Does anyone know if you can powder coat brass, and if so....is there anyone on the forum that could powder coat some brass for me? (LiPo trays, battery straps etc)

Thanks

£50 of brass is acceptable for one car, but how dare another car even think about needing any weight.

Ironic?

You are a cock. Thankyou for that

For the record, the B44 brass lipo tray costs a mere £25. The B44 also requries a battery strap when running LiPo's so either way a strap was needed..I just chose brass, and I was always aware of the fact that I needed it.

When I bought my X6^2 I was never aware that I would need so much brass, and the car handled like a pig without it.

Thanks for your input though, you've killed afew minutes of my boring day at work so for that I salute you

Yeh, it's reasonable to expect one car going from NiMH to Lipo to need weight but not another?

It's ok I'm here all day
