Richmond Controls modules were designed to be as easy as possible to install. For example, soldering is generally not required other than for attaching power wires across the motor in some cases. No major frame modifications are required - that’s what our "NO CHOPPINGTM" trademark means. However, some customers may not have the tools or the time to do the installations, and we will provide that service if you prefer.

The price for installation in brass models is always higher if the model has already been detailed and painted. We prefer to do installations on unpainted models (or at least to perform any necessary drilling or cutting before painting is done), and in these cases, prices MAY be the same as for plastic models.
When shipping models to Richmond Controls, the customer is strongly advised to insure the shipment for its full value. Obviously, the model should be carefully packed with plenty of padding.
Installation and assembly services are not discountable to dealers.
