The only thing I see the problem is that this is an very difficult item to make.
So many profiles that it's very hmm I couldn't find any right word for it.
When you laminate ~3mm carbon it has lot of epoxy in so if you start directly you have laminated the carbon the epoxy is very wet and that will give so some problem but it's easy to work with.
If you decide to work with the carbon after awhile you have lamineted the carbon then you don't have any problem anymore with the wetty epoxy then you have problem with the slicktly hard carbon cloth....
But it will for sure be interested to see how it turned up....

Waiting for paint to harden the $%#@ up
So i can do some wet sanding then buffing and still looking for some prepreg,
So for future readers. When I got to this step I had a failed pull. Basically no standard paint will work. An epoxy based finish is required to have a surface that is suitable from casting from.
reading about pan cars, may be opening an indoor track near me, now i have an excuse to buy one :D . just saw this link looking at some specs for the XRAY.

I dont like the way they use the glue on the plastic, that is a disaster waiting to happen. Personally I like to use a small bottle cap.
Also a lot of 1/12 guys like to really round the edges of their chassis so they don't drag on the carpet. This...
A while ago I bought a cut down and cracked graphite chassis off ebay.

I though this was a good change to learn how to do proper carbon fiber repair since I have should have everything needed to do it....

If the stealth holes are drilled and countersunk properly, there's no way to know what it started as. Especially if they countersunk the motor guard holes too.
Thanks. So the chassis blanks are the same and only the pattern that changed.
im looking at haveing a new chassis made out of carbon fiber but I want it with no cutouts for the cells. I was wondering what people might think about this in terms of stiffness and handling. Has anyone come across one or had one let me...

I didn't think it would make a massive difference as I was going to remove the top deck bracket to help with a bit if flex. I was just trying to tap into the wealth of knowledge on here
So one of the projects I have wanted to try is making a carbon fiber chassis. This will have 2 steps: making a mold then making the part.
I had in the past tried creating a 'buck' for molding. I simply lack the skill and workspace to make an...

Outside finished. There is one dry spot that did not get enough resin.
The chassis weight in at 4.4oz vs 4.8 for the stock. It’s going to loose a little more when fully trimmed down. It’s not exactly a huge weight savings.
