How much would you say you have in tooling? Also, what does aluminum stock cost? Whenever you get finished with the Vekta battery box lmk. I'll for sure grab one.

What kind of machine are you using to cut? I don't know much about machining. @Seandonato73 get in here. Hobby grade aluminum milling machine. Gimme.Not sure how much? but I invested a lot over the last 13 years. Aluminum is about $4.50 a pound.
Im revising the design for the cover. I’m adding another Compartment on top of the cover for the rx so it’s separated from the battery
Holy balls. Is that yours or do you work at a place that has one?I’m using a tormach pcnc 1100. I also got a lathe to make screws etc
Damn bro that's a nice set of tools. I'm in Florida lol, so just a bit of a drive hahaIt’s in my garage. My little shop?? LSF members are welcome if you’re in Southern California or if you’re visiting California??

Beautiful @Haric I finally got my FFRC dual servo mounts for the vekta. Let me know if you need any more measurements?? Prob start tearing it down tomorrow.
Brazing is easy @Z.hb71 . you can actually do it with map gas and stay silver45. Get some good flux that melts at about 900-1000 deg. Go to your local welding shop and ask them for brazing flux that melts at low temp+1 If I had those and some brazing equipment I'd never have to pay and go to a machine shop
I know , brazing is super cheap. I'm actually look into doing some soon if the machine shop charges too much ? rest isnt so cheap ??yeah bro.. see if you can give me the measurements for the rear mounts. You can just hold a tape measure And take pics and post them if you don’t have Calipers. I need the width of the mount and the screw hole measurement like this:

J/k mate...Yeah those stuff but you gotta make sure it’s for brazing that’s turns liquid at about 900 deg and up. If it’s solder flux it will just burn and dirty the parts that you are brazing.
Which one? I haven't taken it apart yet to see which is which.yeah bro.. see if you can give me the measurements for the rear mounts. You can just hold a tape measure And take pics and post them if you don’t have Calipers. I need the width of the mount and the screw hole measurement like this:
