I attended the Rapid Prototyping Symposium in Florida this year, and yes, its amazing what the 3D printing systems can do now. We are supposed to be purchasing a Dimension system to put right behind my desk! Just waiting for funding. Suprisingly, they are only about 30K. Its the 200bucks a pack for the plastic that kills you.
There was a guy there from Chicage that had a RC truck he built for a customer (I have the link to their website at work). It is on the lines of the Slayer/Slash setup, but its overall design is quite a bit heavier. I tried hard to buy the prototype model from him - but he wouldn't budge! Would have been cool to have a one of a kind truck. He did bring the remote in on the last day so I could drive it.
