Hi -
Other day someone replied to a post I made saying I should trying building a 5th scale if I am on tight budget. Thing is I can do that. I have my own 3 axis CNC machine good for 2D & 2.5D parts like bottom chaissis plates and other simple items.

Where is a good source for size/dimension information to know how big to make what?
Also where is a good "inexpensive" source for the parts I cannot make myself like gears and drive train and such?

Links to online resources would be prefered. THANKS!@

I would like to do a direct drive setup like shown here:

Convert an EMaxx to 5th scale. Thought it was interesting.
