RE: Another one home made rc large scale

I reckon you could make a few quid selling shocks like that, theres not too many suppliers of parts like that in the larger scales

I would like to make special parts but I think that there isn't interest. Most of people prefer buying parts from big known companies ,so they feel safe .I can understand it , maybe they are right.
Special parts , is a difficult story.

RE: Another one home made rc large scale

i dont know, there are also alot of people out there who
want something custom and like to support local vendors

the thing is the labour, is it worth your time. people are making
a living from the internet and not having to leave home. i would
love to be at home/workshop fabricating parts and just having
to deal with people on the net, doing something you love. might be
worth looking into.

there are even people selling there services on the net too like brazing
and things for people who might have the money dont have the skills
or time to do it themselves. with your skills you could probably clean up!

Hi dc2 man,

Gog (???????) bless you ,my child !!!!!!

Remember that , a steel roll cage ,as very strong, maybe ,make a damage to your car ,after a crash. But ,if you ask for it I can try.
Think about it.
