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.

are you looking for something with cnc capabilities?there are a bunch of small benchtops out that are relatively inexpensive.i will check a few of my catalogs at the shop tommorow.

yes, cnc capabilities. a decent system less than a grand would be nice (not including the pc). thanks jason.
BMI T2 Chassis
Does your T2 chassis accept parts from the T2 2007 ie bulkheads and other parts?
yes it will.the T2 and T2 007 use identicle chassis plates.it is the top decks that differ.
yesterday we had our florida carpet cup series race with some big time fast guys from all around the state and raced against all brands and styles of 1/12th cars.the DB12R showed its dominance by taking TQ and the win.as a side note,the DB12R was the only 2 cars to hit 42 laps.hows that for getting it figured out.congrats to cheston on the win and to me on the TQ
awesome job jason it just shows the superiority of BMI products.
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.
