I stuck a link on the front page for Bezerk R/C. Here's some examples of the work:
Probably the coolest thing about his services is he can re-produce older graphite chassis like for this HPI Pro:

I think that I need a new scale. Per my scale, my Lite with Ti upper screws, Ti ball studs, pucks, slipper eliminator, KO one10 servo, 2.4 wheels, CF strap, aluminum wheel nuts, and a Trackpower 90c 3250mah lipo, hobbywing 3.1 & Bandit motor weighs 1438 grams (minus wing and transponder). I have another car that is similar but it has a hand milled chassis and it was 1520 with a 4400mah SMC lipo. Is that possible? I might have to drive to Lowes and buy another scale....I'm going to do that right now.
I was wondering has anyone tried the xfactory carbon chassis, i have a b5m with all the goodies so its really not worth getting the new lite, but my buggy can still afford to lose weight and was wondering would it be worth while getting the carbon chassis or getting the lite chassis any advise would be appreciated as i don't want to lose any of the great handling you get with the stock chassis.

I'm sure you could set it up for almost any conditions but based on how it is set up I'd say its really meant for a higher grip track the way they sell it. In the winter when traction decreases greatly on our track, we go heavy and set the cars up soft. The Lite is light and stiff.

There is another nice CF chassis available from Plan B Racing. The claim is that it saves 78g over the stock (not milled) B5M chassis. Because it only costs $70 I decided to forego the Factory Lite and take advantage of the lower price and $15 gift certificate Tower had for the B5M Team Kit. I also like the ability to retain the use of velcro for securing the body via the delrin insert pieces.

I updated your listing on the first page, let me know when you have something new or are ready for orders, I'd be happy to post it here.

I ran my Lite today. Not too bad but not really much different than my other light weight B5Ms. When racing started this morning the car was dog poop. After a couple hours when the sun came out and the track warmed up it was great. Just to confirm, with a 3250mah Trackpower lipo my car weighs 1440 grams. Its right on the money 1500 grams with an SMC 4600 shorty. I was able to achieve that without resorting to swiss-cheesing any part of the car or taping in the battery. I also want to confirm that the B5M Lite was terrible when the track was cold and dusty (low traction). The only note worthy thing that happened is that I broke a ballcup. The new ones seem more brittle to me....
My lite was on rails on the first run. My kit only had a right turnbuckle and no left (on the notch oriented pieces). And I broke the screw going into the hex, now looking into replacements.
