The $10,000 dollar E-maxx uses a FLM chassis and Arms, but it also uses Integy parts as well.

Yeah I read that and looked at his site. I'd say he has no more than $2500 max into the most expensive one that shoots pepper spray balls with a M16 front sight and a fake suppressor.

I hope he's not raping the goverment and giving the rc world a bad name.

Yes that is an extended FLM chassis that I had anodized. I wish I waited because I had to notch the chassis where I mounted the center diff and I now have to re-anodize the chassis. Oh well I'm going to have a few more parts done to match the chassis as well.

If you don't mind me asking what's a rough cost of having a chassis done with the anodizing ??

Well here in Houston I found a shop that is willing to do "small" orders and they charge 45 dollars for the chassis and a few extra parts. They are usually very quick 3-4 days max.
