Gold pan color
Gold pan color
Hi everybody,
Is there any info on color variances of gold-pan chassis? See Pic.
I'm curious if anybody has documented the difference in the gold color of the gold pans? Reason I'm asking is because I recently swapped my C stamped tub for another C stamped unit from a similar vintage CE, although the color was way off and now does not match my front plate.

It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas

Re: Gold pan color
One would think that with all the years and prob the bazillion variables that go into anodizing over that time, you will have a large degree of variation between when the first kit as sold and the last kit was sold, to even the re-re of today.
I am not here cause I am playing photographer and on my mountain bike.

Thanks for the link, I was actually just reading that thread.
This color variation is more interesting because these are seeming to be on either end of the range of 'gold' colors and yet both are C stamped chassis, from "late" CE stealth cars with black plastics.

Re: Gold pan color
anodizing colors are wildly subjective. from the type of dye used, the shop doing the dye(and operator), the age of the dye bath, the length of time the part is in the dye, the specific alloy, to the layer thickness of anodizing. So many variables combine that it's really not unexpected over a large run of parts, that are run in batches. couple that with the fact that associated probably just called out 'gold' as the dye color without much focus on a specific shade, just to be a uniform color.
