Default thickness ????

I am kinda new at this but I notice that it's .055 thick. Most chassis's seem to be 2.5mm or 3mm. These equate to approximately .0625 (1/16) and .072 respectively. I would think that the material your lookig at is a little to thin. Also, I would inquire as to whether carbon fiber comes in different grades. All carbon fiber may not be created equal. Examply 6061 and 7075 and both aluminum but VERY different in their material properties.

Just my 2 cents, good luck and let us know,
John
