They are very skilled with carbon and produce chainrings for high level cycles, can you imagine the engineering that goes into a chainring for a bike, included link if for nothing else to have a look at what you can make.

What does the mugen 1 peice mount have to do with Anything........u obviously dont know who Robert Over at Matrix is.....first of all....those chassy's Fibre-lyte is making are 100% flat with no front kick...there for unless they took the time to make a mould and came up with all the other innovative stuff robert did...like the replacable droop tabs...and the skid plates....and the fact his motor plate is actually moulded into the CF...and he has Over a Year's worth of testing and developing.....just goes to show how much work and effort it actually takes to make a 1/8 Cf chassy actually work.
