1. Not sure
2. Hundreds if not thousands.

You can always just do it the old fashioned way, with a saw or dremel, but then you can't mill the parts like he did all awesome looking.

He used a mini-mill, which is a vertical lathe. It looks like a drill press but with an adjustble bottom plate that can be articulated in different directions. Its not terrible expensive about $500.00 and goes up from there. I found some at harbor freight, http://www.harborfreight.com/ just do a keyword search for "Mill".
Great place to find cheap tools.

One of my boys has a nasty habit of running in front of my RCs. I have taken him out on two occasions. Luckily he was not hurt in either. I hope nobody gets hit with that, your gonna break something for sure, and it aint gonna be the truck!

PoPRC · (#14 (**permalink**))

I am suprised he used pullstarts for that. I bet you could rig up somekind of electic start like traxxas has.

would this work? http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=47158

that may work as long as u used a carbide endmill or something like that. My only concern with that would be that it would not spin fast enough to do a clean cut on most high grade aluminum
