Sheets of Graphite

[craigc8791]

Does anyone know of a place where I can buy sheets of graphite that have a bend to the like a "nose". As if i was making my own graphite buggy

Hey bud, I think a couple of guys have tried to get a group buy going: http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=15982&start=0&hilit=graphite+kickup+chassis

But your best bet is to just go ahead and tried to locate one on Ebay or on here.

Is there a market you think for repro chassis. Say a new carbon fibre JRX2 chassis or RC10. Would not necessarily match finish of original but would be strong, light and new and you would not have to worry about destroying a vintage item.

I'd think someone with some fiberglassing experience could make, it is more time consuming than anything else.

there would be some very interested parties im sure get it happening mate.

Let me see what I can come up with. Won't be quick though.

[Mr. ED]

try to make it as general purpose as you can: give a bend at either end with for example 20° and 30°, make sure the nose piece is tall enough for jx2, ultima, rc10, TRX1 and others, don't pre-drill holes...

That was my thinking exactly. Most people that would be interested will have saws, dremels and drills etc if they could just get the piece with a kickup. I was thinking 20 degree first for selfish JRX2 reasons.
