Jim, I have... and his experience with the Hollenreich's here has understandably left a bad feeling of this forum. Yes, I know him fairly well. I'm also intimately familiar with the design and development process the machine went through, as an engineer myself.
Jimmy... you just said, he's not a huge manufacturer.. so there goes that volume purchasing power, pal. I don't know where he gets them from. We're talking more than just the motor when I say "powerhead".
But let's settle this. I'll make you a bet...
YOU buy a Wraptor kit for $2500, and make another one, exactly like it, for less than $2500.
If you can do that, I'll buy them both. No bullchit. And then you can play devil's advocate all day long.
Oh, and I expect you to start charging your customers at cost.
Funny... I'M the one usually being accused of not thinking outside the box.
