I am going to be in the machine shop this week making odds and sods for various projects, I will probably have some time between jobs if anyone wants anything simple made (alloy or steel). Oh we have lathes, mills, pillar drills, etc, etc.... we also have CNC stuff but set-up precludes me from fitting in that sort of job for you.
To give you an example of what I could make for you, one of the things I am making is a Hydra drive shaft for an MIP gearbox...
You would need to get me an engineering drawing asap though...
I know probably no one is going to be able to take me up on this offer this time but, the offer is there.
The HiLux I recently picked up has a broken knuckle. I've not had time or space to tear into it yet, nor research to see what's available for replacement parts, which I'll do before bothering someone to mill me a set. If it comes to custom milling, I'd probably just send the broken part to whomever will be doing the milling since I doubt there are schematics for such a part available and I couldn't draw a set to save my life.
i would pistolwhip a hobo to death for a set of front bulkheads (aka suspension mounts) for the RC10 and a set of rear arm mounts like the 3 degree'ers ones.
Kidding about the pistolwhipping, just really want the parts lol, let me know
thanks
Well they sound like nice ideas but something I'd much rather throw on a cnc machine to be honest. I think to make more than one set by hand would be a little silly
I know alot of you have a lot of rc10 junk parts and crappy tubs laying around. Okay I don't know this, I'm just guessing.
Anyway, I've always wondered what it would take to build an RC10 MONSTER TRUCK.
Not a stadium truck, but an actual monster...

Wow, it looks even crazier with that chassie. Is that a sprint car one or home made?
What is the deal with the best offer for Buy It Now auctions on ebay. I put in a best offer for something, and it was rejected immediately. There's no way the seller even saw my offer, it was like an auto response. Does that mean that someone put in...

Wow was that fun, rooster tails, power slides, all the things that hooked me on off road oh so many years ago. Even the traction lovers were grinning. :D
Cheers.
That's what it's all about. Heck, power slides (not drifting you young punks!) on...
For future reference does anyone here do a decent job of cutting aluminum?
I have an RC10 motor plate (actually a total of three) I would eventually like to cut diagonally much like it was done in the past. Any examples would be appreciated.

Unless you are just set on modifying what you have, I prefer the look of the JConcepts plate.
The machined edges and honeycomb milling are nice.
That's a sweet looking ride btw. I have the same Kinwald motor!
hello everyone i was wondering if anyone here has the means to do some machining i recently optained a team pit stop chain drive rear end and want to recreate the housing out of aluminum because the person who owned it b4 me treated each screw as if...
I am wanting something made out of alloy for a project. Has anyone had this done and could someone recommend somewhere in the UK I might be able to get it made.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Justin.

They were £65 inc post cad design and that's for two sets so not to bad and the quality is very good. Yours look good I just wish I was able to do things like this myself
I am a college employee in NC and we get to take 1 free class a semester. The Dean of engineering thinks I can take the CNC class without the prereqs because of my years with Caterpillar as long as I do it as an audit and not for credit. I am...

Thanks guys for the info. I have a lot to consider before I buy a machine. Hopefully the cnc class this summer will answer a lot of them, particularly do I need a cnc machine. Well I don't need one but I want one. I may find I don't want one after...
So im looking to design up some parts to be machined. What I'm wondering is the things that can and cant be done by typical machining processes, I would think mostly through a CNC or similar machine.
This way I can design a part that is easier to...

I guess I'll have to try out one of the few companies that specialize in prototyping instead of production parts.
This is becoming the whole reason in why I like the Ideas of 3d printing. The only thing that you need to know how to do is create a...
I'm considering machining the edges of my gold and black pan chassis to match the JCONCEPTS motor plate. Just like Kinwald and many of you have done. What tools or dremel bits do you guys use to do it with?
Last post
Sweet, lots of great ways to choose from think I'm going to try the sander and a little elbow grease as well. Thanks guys
