I just came back from the machinist. He says he may have trouble making the spline slots becuase they are too small for his machines. He also told me he had to do the B4 side manually becuase it was too small for his CNCs. I know you might ask me, why not go to another machinist? Well i work as a design enginneer at a machine making company, and this guy is one my workplace suppliers, and i find his company to be reliable and keeps his promises and at reasonable cost. Of course i could try asking other places but i suspect the answer will be the same. You see most of the industry in malaysia is in medium to heavy industries, so i doubt there are any who make small stuff like kyosho and tamiya. The 2 possibilites could arise.
1. he can make the layshaft just like i want, but price could shoot up to 30 GBP just for me to pay the guy.
2. He can't make the spline slots at all.

So as a back up, we may have to go with the pin slot pulley. Now we have to decided within this week, which 14T pulley out there will suit our needs, make me a proposal and someone send a sample to me please.
