Your right, Stridex, not everyone is going to want to make their own but if they do decide to take an interest in the hobby ( like the hobby we are all fans of..these little cars) there are MANY fine post in regard to the subject matter not only here but all over the net. In fact some of the individuals that have e-mailed me personally have been pointed to these sites and post. Deuceman has posted a fine example of that. Do you realize this out pouring of emotion is all based upon the fact that i said TRY the one piece based upon my experience? What would you have said if a few months back i said TRY the Zip Zap...its better than the Bit lol?

Why would i be afraid of somone building there own bodies? Theres an abundance of clones out there of differnt sizes. I can gurantee you that no matter how many bodies i make there will still be a chassis out there that they wont fit thus ensuring the true dedicated fan will make there own bodies ( like the guys who create paper body kits).

"Apparently from your posts, you're the only one that can have an expert opinion on the subject." - Thats your opinion. My opinion is the LAkers will eventually come out of their funk and win a championship this year. To each his own. And honestly Stridex...if your style works for you..who cares what i say. Just like i wasnt overly concerned with your reply ...MY style works FOR ME and has proven much more effective for ME. Keep working at it guy and detail YOUR style for your board. Everyone will benefit right?

"Sorry if my little post cut into your profits or took away some of your tinyrc fame." - LOL i have NO profits lol and im not famous here, Just a member of a board that seems to hold its own.

"If you're so interested in helping others learn how to mold, document your process." - I nevere mentioned that i was interested in helping others learn to mold ( although i have when asked by a few individuals). But if anyone needs help Stridex they will ask ( either by posting ..in which case YOU can reply ..or by e-mailing someone they believe can help). Dont sell your members short. They are bright ( and i can almost gurantee that the reason no one has asked is because they CAN READ).

"You like taking pictures of the cars for sale, but why not the process?" - See above answer ( re: many post on the subject all over the net)

"You say you're only selling these to cover costs, right?" - I dont recall saying this. In fact i dont remember referring to cost in regard to profit or loss at all ( in regard to materials only). Why did you say that?

"If you can document a better way to mold these, then I'd love to see it " - See above answer ( re: e-mail me if you need help).

" And if you've found a product better then alumilite, let's here it. Why you can't post the name here on the board just proves once more your motives here are money." - Considering that i have been a member here for quite a bit of time...i think it absurd to say that my only motive here is money. Any member here can see how long i have been around. I post HERE because i like Zip Zaps and a lot of guys do. In fact Zip Zpas inspired me to mod and build bodies like many of the other guys here.

" Please refrain from flaming posts that are only trying to help out. Even if it means one less customer." - Anyoone that reads this short thread will see that NO ONE ( not you..not me..not ANYONE) has started a "flame" war. YET. I dont intend to and im sure if your a mature mod ( which i think you are) you DONT want to either. So ..do what works for you and lets keep this peaceful and on topic. If you need any assistance e-mail me.
