Since we have people who know so much about the nuts-and-bolts of business, why not look for when Shapeways may sell the equipment needed if Rich and Allan have surmised correctly. Three maybe four good-sized slot car vendors can pool resources, hire a guy to operate that one piece of machinery, and Shapeways can go take their chances with customers who think an operating model for business is heartless greed. We are slot car guys, and moreover, we are home slot car guys. It would be good to do business with people with a soul.
But being a dedicated Luddite, I have to say that brass, piano wire, or PCB material, a decent soldering outfit, plus the excellent wheels, tires, axles and such that we already buy produce a better chassis, and three times as many chassis per purchase. Okay guys, chew on that one for a while.
