You need to find someone with bad rotors, which isn't easy. It took me a while to finally get some, I got lucky and scored five at one time. After you get your rotor, buy some heavy duty degreaser because you'll be spending some quality time cleaning the thing. If you don't have a wire brush or rubber gloves and maybe a bucket (degreaser takes skin off) buy them. Next experiment with different paints to figure out which ones take up the best without pealing or scratching. The paint I have would be pretty hard to scatch off. You'll probably also want some 1000 grit wet dry sandpaper to help get the paint smooth and shiney. Go to a hobby shop and buy clock motors that will fit in the back of a rotor. I couldn't find any that would fit, so buy a file to sand the corners down so they will fit. Also get some heavy duty glue/cement to secure the motors in place. The glue can also be used to hold the face of the clock in place. The face of the clock can be fabricated by using your imagination out of any round flat object you can find. The only thing left is the batteries and some good hand lotion to help sooth the pain of skin being dried up by the degreaser......or you could pay me $85 dollars to have a clock shipped to your door.



I think I am going to put them on ebay, i'm surprised I haven't had any rotorheads really interested on the forums. Just like you said, i've seen them go for $130.
