Looks like its going to be a nice setup.What are the power goals for this?Good call on getting them to assemble it as well if you are not comfortable with doing it and dont have all the necassary tools then why bother.

I agree. I think it would be cool to do it yourself but you could seriously ---- up some expensive parts if you don't know what you are doing. Like me.

Thats why you LEARN to do it, theres more than enough walkthrough on the internet. Everyones gotta start somewhere

THEN work up to BEING the guy that builds the motors and makes money from it

Seperates some real wrench turners from people with a fat wallet

Feels great to do ---- yourself

----, even if I'll do the job worse, I'll still do it myself
