I pick this up a few years ago was on the back burner. The shocks were all powder coated 24k gold. The rear wing was missing the top pieces.
I got another $17 CF 200x300mm, 2mm from China coming, probably will do custom chassis,Top Plate, Motor Plate and front Shock Tower.
Left over CF scraps made into parts.

Re: Powder Coated Kyosho Optima Mid
Looks sharp, indeed! Is 2mm carbon fiber thick enough though, I wonder? I guess for a shelfer, it doesn't matter; but for a runner, I think I'd go for 3mm.

Re: Powder Coated Kyosho Optima Mid
Thanks Guys, I think 2mm is about right for 1/10 scale especially if a double decker design. The HPI I did is very stiff. 2.5mm~3mm is good for 1/8 scale. My 1/8 scale inferno blue chassis upgrade is only 2.5mm from 2mm stock.
