Well, I never got around to make anything out of it as I want too yound to play with that stuff(I was 12). A computerized CNC would do miracles but I dont have one. The point was the cost of production vs what we pay. Yes a CNC machine costs a LOT. but on the other hand how many different chassis will it do? Imagine that is one CNC in a company making all the chassis for a complete range. Imagine for example how many HPI or kyoshos are out there. Multiplying the number by the cost we pay for each one. The number is several zeros longer that the cost of the CNC.
