$150AUD was just that single piece, cut and folded, and that included the supply of the material. Happy to organise a group buy if you want to, but shipping could get expensive.
My design is dependant on using certain components for the suspension, as you can see there are specific mounting hole locations. I may offer this as a rolling chassis kit if this one works out ok. Thats the real beauty of the laser cutting, if you want another part you just call them and ask - they already have it saved in the machine, all they have to do is place a piece of material on the cutter, press LOAD and press GO, and voila you have an exact replica.

Was that for just what was shown in the pic or did it come with other pieces? Would you be willing to do a group buy if other people are interested? Very nice work.

After many hours drawing in sketchup I supplied the cad file, and the hull was laser cut from 2mm zinc steel, and bent in a single piece on a 10-tonne brake press. I am VERY happy with the way it came out. Next is to start to make suspension components, which will be torsion bars. Front and rear hull pieces will be welded on, also from 2mm zinc steel, the top will be bolted on and removable. Not yet decided on whether to have a drop-down rear ramp, part of me thinks if I was going to do that I would have to make it RC controlled otherwise it just wouldn’t be cool :) The 4 vertical holes are for the motor mounts, which I will fabricate from steel.
