Looking forward to getting my 32" mono going with a hydra 180hv and a 1521 2y...

If Traxxas pulls their heads out of their rear ends and ever releases their new boat it may expand the FE boat market. Traxxas is great for getting people into the hobby but then they start looking around at what they can upgrade to and I have to guess that a Castle is the first name that comes up when trying to upgrade and electric RC. If Castle was to put together a combo that would drop into the new Traxxas boat I'm sure they could sell them

Installation proceeding on the second production line:

And here it is with the machines labelled. Note the fast production line is against the wall (with the quad and dual head machines) and the flexible line is closest (with the single head machines.)

The quad head chipshooter is capable of 135,000 parts per hour, the single head chipshooter is capable to about 30,000 parts per hour.

The dual head placer can place about 24,000 parts per hour, and the single head placer can do upwards of 16,000 parts per hour.

So the line throughput is approx. 160,000 parts per hour on the fast line, and 45,000 parts per hour on the flexible line. Real-world throughput is about half the rated...

Pretty sexy stuff...
