I sure heat is not a factor in that the carbon fiber would not be damaged but it would have an effect on motor cooling. As far a delamination, I know it would be a problem. The cost is probably the bottom line, compairing the carbon fiber fabrication technics of F1 to what we would get in a $600 buggy is not realistic. Has anyone seen the budgets F1 teams have? I don't see Losi or Kyosho (or anyone else) investing in autoclaves & all the other stuff they would need to do it right.
