no because i wanted to wait and get the same carbon fiber pattern on the plate/chassis/shock towers. fibrelyte will make a mold but they need a ton of preorders and money up front etc.

Hi All,
Looking to source some carbon fibre for a vintage chassis rebuild, but I would like a kick up on the front for the caster.
Not too worried about the exact angle as it would be a vintage racer but don't want to 3D printing a wedge style...

I was laying up some carbon the night for a totally unrelated project and up on the bench I had a dynotech tail tank, for the heck of it I grabbed a scrap of cloth (the fibers were a little messed up on it, hence it being scrap) and tucked it in the...

Is it pretty stiff? Can't believe I'm asking a grown man that! But compared to lexan? I thought carbon was tough ___ stuff?

carbon is tough, but it doesn't have the same impact absorption qualities. I don't know if you've ever had a peice of thick...

I see some of you a practically printing full cars with your printers. I'm wondering if anyone has tried any of the carbon fiber filaments? I realize in theory, it should make parts stronger and less flexible. I printed some 1.9 in Bruiser wheels...

PLA works well for wheels as long as your in a cool climate or don't leave them in the car in the sun , the CF filaments have two advantages , firstly it stiffens the plastic and second it improves layer bonding but it's not miraculous , you should...

What's the best method to clean up the carbon fiber on my original RC10L? I'm giving it a complete going-over and notice the CF just doesn't have the deep sheen it had 21-years ago. It's got a bit of an oxidized look to it and I'd like to bring back...

WD40 and a soft rag does wonders. ;)

That's a good, easy tip. The chassis has very few scratches so this works well. Thanks!
