Jirka

Edit: Typo

Yup, one chassis is about 3/4" longer than the other

I just want to see how many other people are going to say it's a LWB Optima Mid Chassis At this point I am just not 100%certain.

i'd cut them up and make some stealth trans braces or pan car nerf wings out of them.

Then you do have a use for Kyosho stuff! It's not totally useless!

I like your new sig.

It did, yes, and you're right.

I guess we have moved towards the next question already: 'which make?'.
But just for me: why LWB not SWB? Were all optional/standard black FRP chassis LWB?

I can tell you this much, they are uni top carbon, with a layer of fiberglass in the middle. Not like CC though--and for all my carbon experience--I'd swear they were actual graphite laminate

I'm not sure why I did not mention Bullet Racing Products. I'm fairly certain the is your Mfg.

Your chassis on top is from Trinity.

These chassis look like JG for the Optima Mids prior to the custom special.

Top one is a SWB Optima MId. The later is a LWB optima mid. I am thinking maybe BRP chassis (can't find pics though). I have a LWB JG and it is defianatley different than that. -Jeff

ireg, that SWB chassis is by Composite Craft. i opened the packet myself.

Trinity also relabeled them and sold under their name.

there has been a couple bullet chassis on ebay of late and these look the same as reggie's

Lazer have 6 slots 3 per side I know I have one sitting beside me. Its not a LWB Optima or Turbo with Carbon Fibre they both have triangles above the slots

Update: One just appeared on ebay to confirm.
