Not the stock chassis from the LWB Custom Special though. It was woven with a matte finish.........I think..........

I thought they'd be for a lazer... how do you guys see the difference from those pics?

The wear shows some white and the edges look white also. I suspect these are not carbon but Kyoshos black fiberglass.

I have one of these fiberglass chassis on my lazer and it's far from the same stiffness and price compared to the lazer graphite chassis I saw on the LHS shelf :?

Lazer chassis has the extra 2 holes at the rear of the chassis for the rear arm mount to bolt to, these chassis' have the notches in the rear corners that allow the flat aluminum plate that the Optima Mid series used as rear arm mounts to dip down to be flush with the chassis. Hope that made sense :?

Looks like the SRS lwb optima mid chassis. If memory serves me they were an inch longer than stock.

Is the upper chassis a little shorter, maybe SWB Optma MID and the lower a bit longer LWB Optima MID???

I'm pretty sure it's an old Optima Mid LWB hop up parts.
FRP style You-G or Trinity? Don't remember but I've already seen them.
