I'm suprised I havent already seen this, but has anyone attempted to make a carbon fiber chassis for a electric converted 8th scale? It seems like this would be sort of an evolution away from the aluminum chassis...or maybe even a plastic style chassis sort of like B4 or XXX material. What do you think?

i have some extra kevlar cloth, looking into making chasses and radio plates for my Caster Fusion, waiting for more epoxy resin to come in and then I will try it out, should drop a good bit of weight off!!

Matrix Concepts has a carbon fiber chassis for the Losi 8ight and a complete conversion that makes it look like a huge B44 with the upper deck and everything.

Damn that's expensive stuff.. what's the weight savings over aluminum.. It's can be enough of a weight savings to justify the cost.

I really look for a company like EXOTEK or KMRC to do one that will 100% mimic the layout of a B44.I was looking into making one But the 4mm graphite plate is like 135.00 for a peice large enough to cut the main chassis from and another 35.00 for a peice of 2mm to cut the top plate from. I am sure the guys at exotek are working on it, or should be if they wanted to make some mad loot.

Mr. C has 2 version of the Carbon Fiber conversion, Bomb-Proof Products had a Carbon Fiber version too of it's truggy conversion. The Matrix chassis is looking very nice. There's one guy in rc-monster who made a CF chassis for his truggy, but he used a flat sheet so no kickup was made.

Atomic Carbon made a graphite tub chasis for one of their cconversion. I don't think it ever made it into production though. There are pics somewhere on Oople.com. It's called the S8

Ah thats whats I'm talking about. Now that is cool looking. It doesnt look like it has any kickup in the front though...
