I'm interested in your components, since they would allow me to build a tank hull and turret to my liking without having to re-engineer all the hardware.
I have a couple of questions about your suspension system: - Will different spring rates be available from you, or is the spring a form factor that can be readily sourced elsewhere? Additional spring rates would be useful for tuning the suspension, especially if the tank in question is very large or small or has a very larger or small number of road wheels. - What is the diameter of the axle bolts? Will more than one choice be available? How about 8 mm? A pair of questions about your motor system: - Is there any difference between the high- and low-profile setups other than the height of the "roll-bar"/handle? Why would I choose high-profile over the smaller model? - What size is the output shaft? Tracks: - Will you be selling drive sprockets and tracks? Pricing, since you asked: It seems odd to list an MSRP and your own price, since you are the only company selling these products. Just post your prices and let the customer decide if they are fair. There's no point in trying to fool the customer. I look forward to hearing from you.
