Hi and apologies if this has been asked before but I couldn't get anything useful from the search.

When was the first aftermarket Graphite or Carbon chassis released?
I went down a bit of a rabbit hole after making a comment regarding the JJ Ultima and wondered if that was the first time a graphite chassis was used in RC racing.

Any help you can provide would be appreciated and may form the basis of an excuse to buy another RC car

JG for the RC10 is the oldest I know of. Probably something before that though.

My best guess would be the one made by D&D Graphite and sold by Parma.

Thanks for your replies - do you know what year that would have come out?

Bolink listed graphite material and a chassis in their 1982 catalog, and I'm certain other onroad cars were using it well before that.
