For legality reasons I'm glad I live far away from Heyburn Idaho...

Yep, people exploiting 'rare' items just to make money!

Lets just hope that the people who buy the parts, do so to complete new rebuilds of buggies that may have ended up on the scrap heap!

Yeah, when i did it, all said and done I probably had over $400.00 in time and money, but I did it to save it , so it could live again. And have a artistic expression with one of my favorite objects. I have sold a bunch to Japan already at a much higher price to people who look at them as art. All the ones from here on out will be signed with a dremel. Unless I know the person and they would hate my name on one. I think they didn't relize I took the time to clean each screw or replace, I mean I even degreased the inside of all the holes and where the shaft pins ride through, but I guess that's how they can sell them for new pieces, you should see what it looked like when i got that car. Worst is they tried to get me to refund them part of the money, because they said the chassis was bent. That car was certainly not bent.

I have a new batch of colors coming out next week, so I will be showing them on here, I guess I will look into what it takes to go into the business section so I can get people these anodized pieces.

Having seen the "production facility" and many..MANY R/C projects and vehicles there, AND more than a few of the actual anodized pieces that Romulus-10 has created, he has my endorsement for the Business Section.

You have made some great stuff and there will be more to come, just a shame to see your hard work sold in pieces

I didn't check the business section to see if you were there yet, but if you were going to start an anodizing section up I think it would be handy for lots of us.

Would anodizing parts sent to you for a specific color request be something that you would be doing as well

Thanks for you vote of confidence. More to come soon.
