I honestly don't see how manufacturers charge as much for chassis as they do. Why is a carbon fiber chassis over $100? That's pure profit! I already know what a chassis blank will cost me and how many chassis I can get out of them. The cost of the actual tooling is what I'm waiting for. I see no reason why these couldn't be kept under or near the $60 mark. That's how much we paid for them in the late 80's when the technology was far more expensive. It depends how intricate I end up making them and how many pieces there are but $100+ is just insane for a chassis that still requires you to bolt on stock sides! Keep in mind that my design will be setup to accept either saddle packs or shorties. It'll be optimized for mid motor. I don't have the tooling yet. It's still a work in progress but is a goal.
