Wow, your first attempt looks better than a lot of people's final designs... What axles and running gear are you going to put on it?

Thank you all for the awsome comments . I am leaning towards using Berg axles that I have from a T1E build. I would also like to use XR10 axles but dont know how reliable they are.

That's some nice Delrin machining right there. Do you do your own machining?

yep that was the hardest part, I barrowed a boring bar set up from a machinist at work and alot of his advice. cnc will be the way to go if i want to do more of these.

cnc is the way to go for sure, but to do it by hand, man that's nearly a lost art.

I wish I was this creative, when I try to design something it ends up coming out like a bad stick figure drawing. Awesome work!!!!

Ever ordered anything from them? Seems like a really good way for someone to not have a big investment for a few custom parts.

I have. They're high quality and fast. I've also used internetmachineshop.....also high quality but a bit slower (but less $$$ than emachineshop.)
