I'm looking for the Blue front diff for my car. I'm also looking for all blue parts. If anyone has an idea what site I can get these at please let me know.

Blue? Are you talking about the pipe, or are you looking for a blue one-way or something?

I'm talking about the hole blue diff set that has the delrin belt gear on it. It replaces the one-way.

there is not a front ball diff that is blue. In fact there is only one as of right now and it is manufactured by GH hobby and it is purple. From what I have been hearing, people have been having a hell of a time getting their orders for the front ball diff. The one that you are talking about is a one-way, and it is made by GPM.

I found the site that sells the blue front diff earlier today, but I forgot were the site was. You can find the purple ones at microrcshop.com and mircors4racing.com or speedstore.com. I'm setting up my second car and trying to do all the parts in blue. I already found everything else in blue at integy.com, except the front diff. Thanks for your input, it is much appriciated, It has been hard to get a reply.

i know whaty the blue arts look like separatly, i just wanted to see his car with them allk together. it would look really cool if instead of painting the body you tinted it blue and added the decals.

You can't really see the parts when you get the body on so when you race no one will know. I think purchasing parts just for looks is a waste of money especially if the body covers what you purchased. Might as well spend the money on a second car.

SorryTGRupert. I knew what you meant, that was meant for someone else. I edited the post.

Other-Cents,
No one asked for you two cents about how to spend my money. If you don't like what the question is, why don't you move on to the next one and leave your bull$#!# to someone else!

hold on, don't get mad. he said "I think purchasing parts just for looks is a waste of money..." he didn't say you are wasting your money or you car sucks tailpipe. He also may have less money than you or different prioritys. I would love to have a all blue or purple car, but right now I also want to go to school.

Thanks TGRupert

brons130 no offense ment on the comment that I made. I was just hopeing to give a different view on purchasing parts just for looks. I have a friend with a purple car. He even dyed the chassis to get everything to look purple. The car does not drive that well, but at least he likes it. I guess that is all the counts.

Other cents, I think a lot of what you have to say makes cents:) I sonetimes forget that some people would rather their car look good than actually be good. I'm not bashing anybody here, however if brons130 wants to treat people like that, especially after HE is the one that posted the question then maybe he should consider the replies he might get before posting.

Look guys I didn't mean to be such an @$$, and I shouldn't have replied anything in the first place. All Appologies to whom ever I offended. It is about learning, just slipped my mine for a minute. You guys are right why spend the money, but I like my car to look clean and be the fastest. It doesn't matter, because I can't drive worth a $#!% anyway.

Its all good. I know better than to get offended. If someone does not like me so what no skin off my back. I work Customer Service all the time. I am use to people yelling at me.

Back to the topic. Brons Did you ever find your blue parts?

Most of them, but I realized I have all the purple ones and I don't really like some of them, so I guess I'll stick with what I have. I just thought it would look great to have a carbon fibre ratzas pan with all blue alloy and blue and silver Gt1 body Owell

you could get a diff and stip the anodizing off of it and have it polished aluminum to go with the silver gt1 boddy and i like the idea of a tranclucent body and heres a good saying "Its better to be pissed off than pissed on!"

You can strip anodized coating with easy off, and then spray paint any color you want. I actually went to my local machine shop and they set me up with some annodizing for some gas car parts. ABout $45

to coat a metal, esp. magnesium or aluminum, with a protective film by chemical or electrolytic means. Also, esp. Brit.,an'o•dise".


chemical elyctrolytic = electricity not heat!!!

The first thing to do is to get the following things together: First on the list is the most expensive item: a 6 to 12 volt battery charger. This item is what might make this too expensive for some paintballers. I (and most other hot rodders) already have one, for my car. If you don-t, then you will need to pick one up. They run from $45.00 to $110.00 depending on model, functions, etc. While it may seem like a lot, it does have other uses. (You could charge a battery, for example.) =) The next item, though not that expensive, will take some effort to find: battery electrolyte, a.k.a. sulfuric acid. This should be available at a battery wholesaler for about $2.00/gal. To make the negative ground, you will need some aluminum ground wire and aluminum-foil. The wire can be found at an electronics store for about $35/spool, and you should have the foil in the kitchen. If you happen to be out of foil, you can pick up some more at the store when you go to buy the last item for this project.
