Ok, Herminator,
That makes alot of sense. Without keeping the minimum ride heights in mind, the unmilled 3mm deck makes sense in that it is a lower COG overall. Because the bulkhead ride height is independant of where the actual chassis sits, that makes it one less variable. Regardless if the chassis is 2mm or 10mm, if the bulkheads sit on the same plane, the height from the bottom of the bulkhead to the ground will remain the same.
With the minimum ride height regulation in mind, however, I do see the point in a unmiled 2.5mm deck or a milled 3mm deck.
However, looking at it all, debating about .5mm is pretty laughable in itself... .5mm is pretty small in that tires can lose .5mm in a race day.
Ypu got a very good point that I did not think about.
The reason for tryin to avoid the milling is that it is another step involved in the process of making a chassis, and thus another step where mistakes can arise. ....plus, honestly, the reason why most racers get carbon fiber converion kits is for the coolness factor...if we mill away the nice shiny surface in these areas, 1) would they really notice a diffrence in handling, and 2)would it interrupt the coolness factor of smooth CF with rough milled CF?
