Frame rails

[cabs]

Can anyone drill a set of 31" rails for a king hauler. I tried it myself but apparently suck at it. I hate to waste anymore. I don't have a drill press and drilling all free hand, the bit seems to walk. I'm not asking for a freebie favor, let me know what you want.
Thanks so much in advance,
Chris

Chris I drill all my rails over the last 15 years free hand but I set punch the holes then it wont walk around..

YOu can do it I do all my side holes then build the frame and then mark holes as I go for the tops..

Question????

What is the size of aluminum You use when you scratch build frame rails?

My guess is 3/4 high with 5/16 flange and 1/16 thick.

you can buy blank rails for I think 30 a set. I got mine from true scale r/c in our vender section
