Wrong and wrong...

Dude he just explained it to us.

yea of corse aluminuim doesnt have flex, carbon graphite never seem to have much flex all at thats just my opinion.

wow. :weird:





So very True.....Most Carbon you see on Pro kits these days are regular SSG composite...So far from real CF its almost not even funny....strength wise they are NOTHING compared to a True CF part...problem is the REAL deal stuff cost's BIG BIG bucks.....so much that it would NOT be cost effective for a Mfg to even think about using it for a production part.

I got access to some One of a Kind CF-18 aka F-18 grade CF from Boeing(scraps from the new Boeing 787) that i can have laid up in w/e config i want as far as thickness and i have a buddy in the US who cuts stuff.....His name is Shawn and his company is Advance Custom Engineering or ACE for short....he does A lot of Hotbodies stuff for the guys and has some Pretty Fancy Alum parts for sale...when my CF is in season he has parts.....currently waiting.

ANY composite question's i can answer and if I Cant...I know some one who can. :nod:

Oh no what have I started here with the carbon chassis thing :D

That E buggy looks like a sweet setup Integra as does that carbon trugg chassis.

I was just curious about them as I wasn't sure if a carbon chassis would stand up to the offroad environment, but you guys have answered that for me.

Although I know that my home track would probably trash one, when I look at the state of my alloy plates

there's something else i want to make clear here....Nitro OR Brushless the Carbon chassis is where its at.....some have questioned whether or not they are even capable of being ran on a nitro....well here's your answer.......

reason for No truggy chassis....is i didn't have it at the time.
Brushless Carbon Truggy...Hint hint. ;)

looks like the chassis holded up pretty good intresting.

nick, how often do you replace your chassis?

which ?

carbon fiber

that's still the original....easily 20+ gallons of fuel and 50+ cycles through my 4S 5000's :nod:

the rear carbon skid never wear's as i keep new DE skids on hand when they get thin...the front is the only place i have to watch as once its through the 1st skid its Into the chassis....i actually run 2 skids on the front...you cant really tell but there's 2 on there. :nod:
