Of course not but if you have an outside company do the work, you still have to pay for all that plus that company's mark-up. So 32 molds for Xray would be like 16 molds outsourced. Add in the fact that some of those 32 are probably existing molds for other cars like shock parts, rod ends, things like that.

There is a good pic of all the molds in the RedRC article.
