I kept the chassis at 3mm. The 4mm chassis is too thick for the other componets and it is the same thickness as the stock one. I wasn't aware of the carbon fiber disapating heat, so I just did an experiment using a blow torche a chunk of aluminum and a my exergen temp gun. GUESS WHAT!!!

The aluminum that was on the carbon fiber cooled from 380-200 faster than on the aluminum one 3 seconds faster in the 3 times I did it. So the heat issue won't be a problem. Now, I have this one on Ebay for sale, and I just cut another one for my car. Don't know if I will run it, but I will have fun when people look at it. Also, I have addressed the issue of the exaust side chassis brace. The only proplem is that if you are running an engine that has bolt heads sticking out of the back of the engine, like the mugen engine -vs- a normal novarossi engine, the brace won't work. I have to test this before I show my design, I have already been copied for my work on the TC3, and several tools that I came up with.
