3mm is stiffer than 2.5.there are a few different types of c/f.you have 0,90 deg.,0,90,45 deg.,carbon kevlar,and colored c/f.they are all available in different weaves.the ones i use (BMI Racing)is colored c/f fine weave layed at 0,90,45 deg. and black layed at 0,90,45 deg.
they all are good for different applications.the only one i dont like is kevlar c/f.it is abrasive as hell and not very stiff.it is abrasion resistant but it has very similar qualities of fiberglass.

QUESTIONS
1. what do you use to remove the anodizing? Will oven spray cleaner work? Will do a TC3 project and want all the components to be in silver!!.
2. Can I also mill a team chassis even if its composite? If the flex will be too much, by adding an uper deck solve this?

Buy both the BMI and WARP, so you won't confuse yourself anymore
You won't go wrong with either!! Peace to U and Happy Racing!

I was surprized as well. I took my chassis to DA graphite who used to supply some of the RC manufacturers with their graphite, and he showed me how to look at the weave, and sure enough, there was nothing diagonal.

I often wondered why the SSG chassis was so 'flexi'.

Stock setup
Hey all
I was just wondering what tips and tricks you all use to get the most from the your setup assuming everything is free and running smooth and you have the best possible speed when racing 27thurn and 19turn
So should I use 0 degrees toe front and rear to get the most straight line speed and go softer on your tyres and then 0 degrees Antisquat to help traction under acceleration out of the corner
{ assuming the track is flat }
just so you know I run a TC3
so help with this particular chassis is appreciated

Shocks suck!
I was wanting to know how often everybody re-builds the shocks. I've been having to re-build mine about every race weekend. They lose their rebound which I notice when I try to check my droop.

Are you losing oil from the o rings at the bottom of the shock cos you shouldnt be losing oil really
check the top of the shock for that seal too cos the leak has to be one end

well I just took the shocks apart and they were clean around them and not hardly any air in the oil either.

More important that what is in the shock is what is outside. Is the arm or area around the lower shock mount covered in oil? If your losing the rebound the oil has to be going somewhere.
Id rebuild the shocks using a liberal amount of green slime on a set of new o-rings and see what happens.
Brian: No torque steer??? lol jk.
