Look in the phone book for an industrial plastics supplier, they'll likely have what you need.

Try a Google-search.
That's what I did and found several online suppliers for G4 and CF.
Do some checking, as prices vary depending on size and quantity.

(pardon the smilie usage, I just luv 'em)

Kamtec might be able to help you out. They are selling the sheets on ebay. Priced reasonable. (surprising)

Hello all.
What is the black top and bottom layer of a composite craft chassis made of? It seems to be a black fiberglass, but I haven't found any black fiberglass fabric nor have I seen any kind of carbon fiber with that type of canvas weave.

It...

Yes sorry, my mistake. Unidirectional is often layed out in isotropic patterns for strength, as Phin said.

So it looks like there is a bit of flashing material on the side of my B4.1 worlds chassis, up around the front which I think is causing the A arms to bind a little as well as it is a little sharp in the spots where present.

I figure the A arms...

Anyone recognize this? Believe this to be some sort of fiberglass RC10 chassis. All existing chassis holes line up with original gold pan (no stealth holes). Thinking this may have been some type of early on road chassis as it doesn’t seem quite...

Last post

The stiffeners you are talking about were not for the RC10. They were for the highly modified Tamiya Sand Scorcher. RCH didn’t do much of anything for the RC10. I ran an all graphite RC10 with the new at the time modular alum end bell Checkpoint...

I have a fiberglass chassis for an RC10L and it's in pretty good shape. It has a few scratches on the bottom and top but nothing to deep. I've read that you can wet sand it and then clear coat it some how. Is this possible? Has anyone done this...

I have had some luck with wet sanding and clear paint. It takes some time and skill to do it right but you can get decent results.

Are the nose tubes just 3/32 aluminum tube? I can't justify the cost they go for.

Last post

all you need now is a tap and dye and you can make all the extra nose tubes you need :).

Now if we could only find out the gauge of the aluminum sheet used for making the tub chassis.
