5 stage hydraulic clyinders

Sounds very appealing, but still very expensive, even at $610. Is there anyway we can find a machine shop, company, or even an individual inside the USA that could produce these for less? I think the Euro's value is killing us! If we kept it inside the USA, it would be nice. There has got to be someone who can do this kind of work inside the states.

well there is but he's a little way away from it yet also , the more scale he gets , the more time it takes . the way scale art builds them is well worth it . I would sping for 2 If I was not so h#!! bent on making my own + having to replace my fuel pump on my truck (why they put that stoopid electronic POS on a good motor is beyond me )

I agree Nathan. this issue has been raised many times from different people. I even contacted a vendor in NJ I believe. When I asked him about making a small scale cylinder. He had told me that a model truck dealer (Ric) in the US had contacted them several times about this but they weren't able to do it. the one thing about Scale Art is that you get what you pay for.
