Thanks for all the input guys I think I might try a bit of lexan on this one and see how that goes.

I was going to post a link to the matrix concepts website but I havn't done enough posts yet

Is that a full carbon fibre chassis I spied there Integra

How much different from the aluminium is it in handling?

2mm for the axle set screws inside the hubs and for the couplers that come out of the transmissions.

sure is......i run my E on the bug chassis with Great success....overall better rough stuff handling and being 100g lighter then the stock plate is always a bonus....i run matrix tower's on my buggy's as well...custom 1 offs on truggy.



This is From A WHile ago but still the Truggy version

Wow 100g really is a lot of weight. Did you have to add any weight on your buggy or truggy to pass tech at the bigger races?

What are the flex characteristics on the CF chassis?

thanks just suspect to possible breakage normal CF tower are 4mm Ive bent my fronts roller towers wonder if they can handle the abuse. I know Mugens come with CF tower and mugen guys keep them handy not sure if sacrificing the lightness for durability is a fair trade

A lot flexier then alum that's for sure.....nitro buggy would need a little weight Pending multiple thing's like tire's and lightweight drive parts....the alum front/rear axle's are less then 1/2 the weight of the stocker's and the boot on the rear's is pretty trick like the AE style rear boot cover's.
