Got my quote and the guy is smoking his JOX! $470! Double what an rcmax or mcrp(n) and only 6061. So i guess he is out , ill ask a few more engineering shops see what happens. You never know what could happen:D
 
That doesn't sound like a terrible price to have 1 chassis made... local shops don't have a program for a Cnc to work off of and it would take a bit to make one by hand. The 6061 sucks but all things considered $80.00 hr shop rate few hours to make + couple bucks for material.....

What if you get the side shields made in aluminum? I think they would help stiffen the chassis if they were aluminum.
