protc3,
a slightly out of topic question, just want to ask somebody in the know. can you recommend a desktop milling machine that can do like small parts like knuckles, a-arms, etc..? or..can you suggest features/capabilities to look for? not looking to get into production, just hobby stuff. thanks in advance.

Default BMI T2 Chassis

Does your T2 chassis accept parts from the T2 2007 ie bulkheads and other parts?

thanks dude.it just shows that on a level playing field without buying the top drivers,our DB12R is way ahead of the rest.we raced against all of the latest cars and they were not up to speed.the DB12R is the next step in evolution to the 1/12th market.
