hey guys, in the middle of a resto, a chassis I have has a few scratches on the bottom, and its a bit...dull. any way I can gloss it up (with a hard-wear finish)
not sure if Tamiya clear gloss would do the trick...perhaps not strong enough?
Cheers
I'm a retro radio control hipster - I only like the stuff no one bought!
To remove fine scratches from CF, I use brass polish, A lot of hard rubbing but it works fine, leaves a shiny surface, do this process in the end, use fine sand paper first to get rid of as much and as rapidly as you can but yeah brass polish works just fine
when I was restoring my graphite chassis. I used the clearcoat that dupont makes. available at autozone. I did use the whole can on the chassis but its effectively protected. I've raced it and normally just bash it and its held up for a year+ now.
I did prep with 3k and 5k albeit you cant really see the results from them.

Hi guys, as a couple of you know I have been working with Fibre-Lyte recently to make parts available for the 95 World Champion Special (aka Pavidis Edition)

Good work Matt! I know they had the pattern for towers available, but not listed on their website...however to get the whole lot and especially the long battery strap is ace! Big thumbs up for that :D .
Has anyone tried this? I have used dragon plate products before and like them. I was thinking this would be perfect for chassis restoration. Certainly more durable than film.

Very nice product, although somewhat pricey.
And, I'm an internal ISO 9001 auditor too. It's very crappy extra responsibility; I do about six audits a year. Next week we're also being externally audited to get ISO 17025 certification; 17025 makes...
Having seen previous examples of carbon fibre CATs, I thought I would go down the same route with my second CAT SWB. I arranged for Fibre Lyte to copy my spare set of SWB fibre-glass components. These included the top deck, chassis, steering rack,...

Very impressive build! Good luck with further tuning... perhaps a higher turn motor will make it easier to control? No??? Is there such thing as TOO MUCH POWER??? I don't know... :shock: :twisted: :lol:
This started at the end of last year I was helping welshy40 find some parts for his Nix91 and he said he had a carbon tub that was made by Fiber-Lyte for him some years ago, he had forgot about it and had been sat in a cupboard ever since. So after...

I've had a similar project in the pipeline for a while... including the FL tub and a few more ;)
It's in the waiting list atm... like most of my projects :roll:
Some photos of latest project, a carbon fibre tub YZ-10 (courtesy of Sven). Going to need some help with this one; looking at the chassis I'm guessing it's been designed for a Works '93 as it has the slots for adjusting the belt tension? If so, I...

This car now up for Sale on the bay?
Yep I’d say so along with the rest of his collection

What car could be nice to own in full carbon version and what car should be leaved as it is in original condition.
I have done some in my opinion nice carbon version.
The last one was an optima mid.
