My thoughts are the same.. my puppy and I are wanting a manual mill from harbourfreight for Christmas. We already got ourselves a lathe.... now we need a mill

Yeah I was going to suggest Harbor Freight

. They usually have fairly decent milling machines and tables available, and even if they are not the best on the market they are great for anyone who wants to try out there virgin skills without breaking the bank. Anyway they are perfect for just making little stuff for the RC junkie plus you can be pretty creative making your own stuff. Also if you come up with a really useful part you might end up showing it on here and find that there is a market for selling your ideas. Good luck with that SSSPconcepts.

Anyway for Xmas I have been checking out the XTM MMT by Global Hobbies. For the money I think I may have to try one of them out. It is big, but very well built and nimble for its size, and I will work on converting it to an electric Monster. I have already given my wife and family copies of several items off the internet that I want/need

. The Quark 125B, the MGM 160 amp ESC, 4.5 HV Maxx system, some Fuiego and Neu motors, and a slew of UE and FLM parts to help with my collection of 4 Maxx trucks. So we will see what shows up on Christmas day

.

I am working on having a collection of cool trucks to race and for the family to bash on Holidays at our place in NC when we retire. I have plans on building a backyard track for something to do in my retirement days. Hopefully in 2012, Not soon enough of course, but there are plenty of Christmases between now and then

Sounds like a great idea...but ya know the Myan Indians believed that its all going to end in 2012

Just ask ZeroPoint.
