| Custom Machined Parts
Does anyone on here do custom machining? I need some custom axle ends and know what i want/need BUT have absolutely no way to make the parts myself unless i rig something up.

Ive done it before. How complex is it? I am just working on getting my mill's overhaul done. It is a few switches away from working What material is it and blueprints are really helpful when requesting machining help FYI |

| I would have to sketch up my plans. Working on narrowing my axial axles and basically need the end of the straight axle piece but shorter. Really could just take a set of aluminum ones and mill out the inside to fit over the axle housing. BUT ill start some sketches and let you know when its done.

Only after Crawling Calvin has looked over your blueprints and possibly decides he may not want to take on the job, send them my way and I'll take a look. Thanks. |

| Mike Hesse is the man!!
You can check out his website and email from there or send him a pm on rcmt.net he does any custom work you need he uses the best equipment and materials !!It'll cost a little more than something made with cheap materials and shotty workmanship !Best off all if your rig is out of production he can remake the parts needed!!

I do work, but only for GSRCRC guys (my local club), myself & my son. I don't have a vendor star here and don't want to piss off the mods. |
