  As you can see its no different from a dick smith armature, or a mabuchi, except that he s found a bigger commutator somewhere and handwound it. Well done NML :dead::dead::dead:

  Well i dont consider my self a scum bag like he is, and i would’t really call them PD’s anymore as theres not much PD in them!!
  
  If i made a 400% markup you would be looking at $160 a piece!! Final pricing is still to be confirmed but is a fair whack less than an NML, though dgs, you are the lab rat, you are gunna be the first to ever use one 🙂

  Just out of curiosity, don’t threads like this open yourself up to legal problems ?
  
  I know on another forum that I visit, you can’t say anything bad about a commercial business for risks of being sued for defamation…loss of business etc….

  The price is what the ‘market will carry’… ie if people are buying them for that price 🙂
  
  However I do think it may be a bit steep. Reminds me Jamie, you and I need to have a PM discusison about an idea of mine 😉
