Somebody's gotta ship all their aluminum parts (after polishing, of course) to someone to have them color-anodized. Who's gonna be the first to really OWN their Scorpion, and be a master []D [] []V[] []D ? Let's see some purple tuxes and a fedora with a gold plume!

Don't think i hadn't considered it! I have a nice dark burgundy picked out....but the more I picture it different colors I just don't know that it would look better than the bare aluminum!

"Better" isn't the point, I guess..."different" is. Just like the RC10 re-re's, who wants to see the same ol' builds over and over again? Do something to make it YOUR Scorpion. ;) (That's not aimed at you, Jeff, but people buying Scorpion re-re's in general.)

They may be a tad wider depending on the wheel used, but that's unavoidable as I must work with the axle I'm given. Didn't take the protrusion measurement, but it'll be in all the info when the Email goes out, say 2-3 days. Chris REC
