Thats right folks, I'm looking for someone to build and paint a kit, I will supply the kit, in this first project, a 1/8 scale buggy, electronics, engine and pipe. All you have to do is build it. Ideal candidate is someone with 3-5 years of experience, has time to build a kit and is located in the NY/Nj areas. I will consider out of towners but shipping the kit back and forth will be expensive. This is my first attempt at RC outsourcing. If this works out, I'm going to try this with others and develop a network. Great way to make extra money.

Willing to pay a reasonable fee, please PM me your rate and time frame.
 
interesting venture but I think the joy of this hobby is building the kit yourself.

Let us know how it all works out!
 
Also the purpose is to develop a network of repair help, so that I can setup a referral database online where people can bring their rig to an expert in our network for a small fee payable to the individual who does the repair.
 
Its not unusual for people to get a kit and want it built. The quality is better by far. I build an average of 2-3 kits per month for my LHS. And yes, the joy for me is building them. There is no way that someone would want to pay for the time it takes to build one properly at shop rates so it more a labor of love for me.

Let me know if you can't find someone local.
 
I'd be willing to do it as well, my time is really cheap because I love doing it. The only thing is I don't paint, so somebody else would have to do that.
 
I could paint it for ya if wanted. Lemme know.
 
When do you want it built? I would do it for next to nothing after May 1...I don't paint either. I could build in a day or two.

And the same with me. I will do it for free, but someone will have to lay the paint. PM sent.
 
Thanks all this is amazing. this is first project-want the buggy completed by end of April:

Thunder Tiger EB4 S3 (I will provide setup sheet)
Airtronics Mx-3 S
Sirio Kanai EVO 2 Engine

Ideally I could get the builder to paint because it would be easier to have 1 stop.

I am happy to build the kit myself but I have no time :(
 
I am in NY, I can do both, build and paint. Shoot me a pm if you are serious and what you would be willing to spend for the total package.
 
I'd be willing to do both, but I'm upstate so it would need to be shipped. No doubt NC can do a kick-ass job and he's not too far from you. But let me know if there's anything I can do to help.
 
I could build the kit, Hell, I'll even video tape the build. But I can't do the paint job unless you want a simple paint job. I live in sayerville/Parlin NJ. LMK
 
Thanks everyone for so many responses, I'm going to PM the support members who have expressed an interest in building this for the hobby, and choose from them
