I hope you wore a mask! :wink:
I have been considering doing that for a while, but the chassis I have is too crappy to use for the niceness of the rest of the parts and not crappy enough to use for shock towers, etc.
Those graphite chassis make EXCELLENT shock towers.
Bought my first RC10 in 1989

i thought that some may think that...

figured i'd keep ya in some suspense. :wink:

btw, i would never cut an actual ae worlds chassis that was in decent shape, unless i had another one that was nicer.
