Thanks again, Ernie You da man
Hey Jon, I have quoted a couple guys on prices for axles and the Codyboy Steering and I don't hear back from them? I don't think that they realize the time and money I put into R&D and building these. I'm not a big shop with a lot of overhead or have a bunch of machines to call on for building. It takes me a good day to build a axle like the one I sent you. I use quality parts and I think what I build is quality products. I'm just a old fart tinkering to support my hobby. I know you step out of the box in some of the things you try. Do some of you guys think my prices are out of line? Help

As with anything, you have the people that understand what tit takes to build an original and quality part and then there's the ones that dont even know that sun sets in the West. Run into people all the time that can't understand why it cost so much to get their car fixed. I point at tooling and start explaining what it cost just to tool a shop and maintain it and that if what I'm doing is worth so little why ain't they at home doing it themselves

Hey Fish, I'm sure being a stay at home dad isn't all it is cracked up to be. It's good that you can let all the jokes kind of role off to the side. Besides I know for a fact that you have recipes for some great deserts!!!

Seriously tho! I do water testing and emissions testing and custom leather work and 3d designs while the kids are in school. With the kids in private school if I go back to work the day care bill would be outstanding.

Got in a quick run before the rain set in this morning, and this Codyboy axle is amazing. The turning radius is crazy on the short little feller and It will go anyplace I point it. Really thinking now that the cheater rigs (team voodoo ottsix) are going to be weeded out that Stumpy just might make a good showing at Crawlapalooza this year Did I name drop a few lines back?
Anyway, Ernie, my hats off to you! While sliding sideways on a slope this extra steering will pull the front end up and out of trouble where it used to just keep sliding down hill, and no swinging out and doing 3 point turns in the tight spots now. Just drive up, crank the wheels and go!

Nice right up Jon, thanks for the kind words. I'm glad it is living up to your expectations!. Working on Lucky87s front and rears this weekend, along with a couple of the losi scale width axles. Helps support my lavish life style

Well, I don't know Maybe I should open up a bidding war between you two. You know, and then there is always parts that go to Poprivet and Fish that you may need to consider.
Your Codyboy sleeper parts dominance may be coming to an end before it even gets started.
