Actually...................................carbon fiber with Kevlar interior modulus and matte uni-directional finish.scr8p wrote:graphite
Fancy words for carbon fiber, often mistaken for or called Graphite, which the 6030 and 6036 chassis were in part made from.
Re: RC10 worlds shock towers
certainly looks like graphite and not carbon to me.
ive heard of high modulas graphite(not carbon) like in hi end tennis racquets
and kevlar is yellow not white. isnt the white a cheap filler like in the jrx-pro chassis?

Re: RC10 worlds shock towers
The white "filler" you would be referring to is pre-preg g-10 or fiberglass in the case of Losi, and
you can only tell the difference of carbon and graphite by 1) price, 2) harmonic frequencies what most are used to seeing as "carbon fiber" is the 3k checker fabric that is on the surface for asthetics. Carbon fiber is just that, hundreds of thousands of pure carbon fibers-what you see with say a Losi chassis or CC is a unidirectional top layer, or what the carbon fibers look like-one of the final layers before resin is what is on top. Carbon fiber also is less brittle than graphite, hence the difference in harmonic frequencies

Huhn? LOL. I had to poke at that one. I am surprised you know what a harmonic frequency is!Charlie don't surf wrote:harmonic frequencies what most are used to seeing as "carbon fiber" is the 3k checker fabric that is on the surface for asthetics.

I can't help think how is that relevant to an RC10 or a JRX2.

Re: RC10 worlds shock towers
what is the harmonik freekwencey of hitting a curb at 20 mph? which is beterer? grafite of carbon fiberz? can I get the carbon in silver or blue?Charlie don't surf wrote:THe r is A defffinetion in the dICTON airy whif alot oof werds, whi wood U knot xpect Mi too nomrlexan wrote:Huhn?

Re: RC10 worlds shock towers
HI!... So what is the stock RC10 white shock towers made from?
102 RC vehicles and counting...
