For the time it takes to program , setup and punch a set of rails , I've done 2 by hand . I'll be making a set for myself in the future , off the top of my head , it'll be 2 hrs at least just for 1 set which from front axle back will not match anything tamiya or wedico . Whats wrong with 6060 ? I have no probs with yet . it's not the gummiest stuff I've machined
I cant even get blank frame rails, let alone predrilled ones? Plus I am not even sure how close the pmd ones are to stock ones? So I went and started the process of getting OE blank ones from carson,yes I did search thru all 8+ pages in this section.
As for 6061, I got spoiled milling 7075, I love how clean it mills compared to 6061, I dont have coolant on my mini mill
