One strange thing though...I was filing the edges and the dust that comes off is grey and does not blacken your hands. This confused me a bit so I got some carbon loaded plastic pieces and filed a bit off....same thing....no black mess on the hands.
The material is not fibreglass.....because I've seen than stuff and it is really heavy......this stuff is as light as the black carbon fibre. Anyone know why it is different to normal graphite????

The Xray chassis is quite nice because there are 0.5mm countersinks for the gearbox to bring the level of the gearbox back to the original chassis thickness.

Would be difficult to flip because the upper face is countersunk......but I'm sure it would be no problems to order without the writing....Jason from BMI appears to be open to any modifications suggested....and it would cost less for him not to do the work!
