This may not be exactly "on topic" but I will throw it out there anyway...

If you look at all of Mike's parts, you will notice that he machines "RC-Monster" directly onto the part. Fastlane Machine also marks their products with their name. That makes it a lot easier to prove what they did and did not manufacture. It also provides some protection when/if somebody tries to counterfeit their work...because as someone else has mentioned...misrepresentation is a crime.

If Robin/UE starts making more parts, I hope he marks them. That way if somebody were to make counterfeits with "UE" stamped/machined into them, then it would be impossible to give the "I just didn't know they were fakes" routine...well okay...they might get away with it once.

In all honesty, marking your work just makes good business sense.
