plus no paint equals lighter! huh? huh? am i right, huh?

very cool, having your own chassis design put into production, leaves mean green with sea sickness!, no what no, i meant jealousy!

if you don't mind me asking, how much have you put in to this and how much have you got out?

Thanks for all the comments guys! No paint really is lighter, lol... I don't have to care too much about that but it's nice to know. The real benefit is that any race damage on the front splitter can be repaired with a single swipe of the pen.

As far as input/output... let's say it's not great, but that I'm making an investment for the future. If you only count the production run of cars then I'm turning a slight profit, but if you count all the tools and supplies I bought to prototype, test, measure, and promote the cars, then I'm WAAY in the negatives. I have to buy new bodies to see if they give me any helpful performance advantage, new electronics, even a custom pit board so that local racers know that the MRCG is there.

Hopefully I'll be able to turn an actual profit sometime down the line, but for now I'm paying for a great learning experience, my own satisfaction with the hobby, and satisfaction from my customers. Good enough for me, for now.
