Hey Rare, how did that VSM work out for you? I've been considering buying one.


Honestly, i havent even used it on the Adonai. I mounted the magnet on my TT-01, but my TT-01 is in pieces and waiting for a bigger pinion. I havent even got to use the VSM I get easily distracted by other projects.....

Ah, nevermind.. Found out it's made by Fast Lane.

Thanks for the compliment. No, i did not make the chassis. Its a FLM chassis as is all the other aluminum parts.

I do want to make my own aluminum upper chassis though.

Status: offline 		Yeah it is softer but where it would be going and with some angle bends for strength it would not be that bad. You would use a thick piece and after the bends and polish it up....it would darn sure be different. Go to a metal shop and they might have some real cheap scraps.

If not copper, as it is soft, then brass polished to look like gold.
