Looking for a CNC shop to make crawler parts

All the parts will be designed in Solidworks, including the axles.
Axle is similar to Raptor 2 Axle.
Size is for 1:6 scaler.

What will the cost be?

The cost will depend on the macine shop, material, numbers of parts, and the fact how hard it will be to machine.;-)

Understood that. They are parts for a standard crawler.
What will be the hourly cost if it is a "normal" part?
$50/hour or so?

this is based of a 1 qty off run

This is a quote i recently got for a prototype part

SAC-rear tower tb A0003

Rear Tower TB, 6061 1 40.00 (material and machining)
setup setup charges 1 65.00
Fixturing, non recuring 1 75.00

The total cost for one part is 180
Depending on your part count it will add up really quick. Granted when you order say 25+ the price drops.
