Hi All,
It depends on how much you are making it yourself and how much RC and electronics you want to include.
If you build everything yourself and had no electonics the cost would be in the few hundred range.
At the other extreme, if you got on all the part runs and had all kinds of electronics it could cost you over US $3,000.
Icemann,
To get 10 people...it could really work . ( good idea )

The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the force
I've done some research, and the cost of building one range from few hundred to few thousand. The difference in price depends on factors such as static vs RC R2; wood or aluminium, etc.
I'm trying to see if we can get someone local to make the parts, so if you have worked with anyone or any company that does metal work, please let me know.....
