Not to get too technical-but I can make beautiful Graphite sheet in my basement with a smooooth table, resin and a vacuum bag, but it wont be strong. So I only say this so everyone knows that color of Graphite has no bearing on its strength-per se. Yokomos SSG graphite is not soft because its silver-but because it isnt engineered to be ultra strong and stiff. How many layers, how its laid, what kind of resin, is it pure carbon graphite or are there sheets of fiberglass, etc., etc.how its vacuum sealed and how its, yada yada, yada all play a role. Think of it this way-Carbon Fiber A-arm on F1 car-Awesome. Carbon fiber on the dashboard of a rice rocket-Cheap crap!!!
Okay_ I am droning on and on-The point is-Warpspeed buys awesome Graphite sheet. The moment your Demon chassis comes and you put it in your hand-you'll know!!! Its stiff as can be and its flat as can be.

That final layer before the resin is a fabric. Traditional is the black/grey checkered effect. A change of color is NO different. Just like Ray said.........

Race report
The DEMON also works in the wet!
Sunday was the last race in the outdoor national cup for 2003.
We had rain almost all day so there were a few more things to think about... (we have had many races in the rain this season)
Qualifying was ok, but I had some trouble finding the right setup. I qualified 5th in the A-main.
In the finals the car was dialled and I had good speed. I came second in final 1 and 2. In the third final I chose the wrong tires and went off the track and into the fence with a bang.
I finished 2nd in total, my best result in the national cup so far.
Now I’m looking forward to try the DEMON on carpet!
I have printed the DEMON setups that have been posted here but if there are more good setups out there please post them (rubber tires on carpet). If anyone would like a good setup for rain on a large track I’ll post it or email it.
I’m very happy with the DEMON!!

Vic, Howard, Brian, etc...
So you guys think a Demon2 is the bomb on big, fast carpet track on foam tires too (see my thread about the Gate)? Mine was super fast in the corners as it was. Wonder if I should buy a Demon2 as well. Too bad I am a bit low on extra electronics right now. Love to have two chassis ready ro run with servo and electronics on it. Just switch over the front and rear clips and drive shaft!!!

Ray, personally I think you can't go wrong with a Demon or Demon 2. But for anyone racing with foam tires on a high-traction track, or going to be racing on a high-traction track (national race such as cleveland/snowbirds/carpet nats), i think the Demon 1 is the better choice because of its longer wheelbase. HOWEVER, I think the Demon 2 will be the King of rubber/carpet and asphalt racing.
