I pick this up a few years ago was on the back burner. The shocks were all powder coated 24k gold. The rear wing was missing the top pieces.

I got another $17 CF 200x300mm, 2mm from China coming, probably will do custom chassis,Top Plate, Motor Plate and front Shock Tower.

Left over CF scraps made into parts.

Looks sharp, indeed! Is 2mm carbon fiber thick enough though, I wonder? I guess for a shelfer, it doesn't matter; but for a runner, I think I'd go for 3mm.

Thanks Guys, I think 2mm is about right for 1/10 scale especially if a double decker design. The HPI I did is very stiff. 2.5mm~3mm is good for 1/8 scale. My 1/8 scale inferno blue chassis upgrade is only 2.5mm from 2mm stock.

I've decided to give powder coating a shot. I bought a powder coating gun last week, but I'm too nervous to try it on some chassis I already own, so I picked up this Ultima as a guinea pig. This Ultima is pretty rough. I plan on removing the silver...

For that chassis it might work ok but wouldn't want to try that out with a gold pan. Takes quite awhile to get one of those clean and you'll go thru alot of refilling that little tank. Plus you would need heavy rubber gloves and some kind of...

Has anyone done World's style milling on a powder coated chassis? A buddy of mine asked if I would mill his but we are afraid the powder coating may get messed up at the sides of the milled areas? Anyone have any experience with this?

Last post

Thanks. I'll try to talk him into doing a build thread on here ;-)

Need your help guys,
Anybody know what RAL numbers the powdercoat have on the old Associated chassis.
Could it be RAL 3024 or 3026 on the fluorescent red?
Any guesses on the other colors?

I remeber we used to do similar things to kyosho arms bitd to make them a little more flexible so the car got easier to drive on rough tracks.
