Any chance that you would make me one, or possibly sell it to me? I love collecting the strange and wonderful rc creations people come up with. Figured that there is no harm in asking?!

Hmm, this thing is worth a fortune. I built it over quite a span of time. But, I bet I have over two grand in the thing. Heck, I just bought two 403 ounce torque steering servos for it. That alone cost me $250! The tranny is a 100% hand made gear case driving a belt drive transfer case down to cut, extended and rewelded CVDs to the axle housings. The suspension is all custom made and completely unique. The sway bars are ball bearing pivoted carbon fiber units made on my CNC. The roll cage is hand made mig welded piano wire (you could stand on the thing).

If you are serious, I am willing to discuss it. But, again, this thing is worth an enormouse amount of money. Heck, I haven't even finished this latest upgrade yet (the steering servos, 4WS, and transfer case).

Thanks for the kudos, though.

Actually, this thing is nothing. Here's a pic of a CF heli I completely scratch built.

I just enjoy the challenge of designing something and seeing it come to fruition.

I hope the Losi turns out this nice.
