In all honesty, I set that price and the long lead time hoping nobody would want one

It's just not the business I want to be in. Let me make some speed runs on this and verify that it does what it's supposed to. Then I will start a new thread gauging interest. As most of you know, the price would be partially determined by the number of units. The pieces are cut on a waterjet, so the setup work is minimal. Of course, the designed needs to be compensated for his efforts as well
I should have some preliminary spped runs done this week, now that my ESC is finally here.
