Advice Needed. Selling Hop-up part design to manufacturer.

[Monty_Zoomer]

I've got an idea for a hop up part that would be useful and simple enough. I could hand build the things but the time and materials involved in that endevour would nearly outweigh what I could reasonably expect to sell the parts for.

Anyone know of an aftermarket parts producer that regularly pays for designs?

Anyone have experience selling their design? Do's and Don'ts?

chances are that ure idea has already been thought of and i dont think that manufactured pay people for their ideas, they have theyre own designers to make hop-ups and improve designs.

I wouldn't approach on of the larger corporations like AE, DTX, ect... But you could try a smaller aftermarket company like hardcore, hgi,powerline, ect. they could be more likely because they don't have as large of a budget for R&D
