Default 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.
