Hi Peeps

Does anyone know where we can buy FRP as close to the early 90's Kyosho stuff as poss?
Need to make an LA-61, ZX-R(MkII, RR) top deck

Cheers ma' dears

I have a few ZXR top decks spare. I can check for you in a few days when I return home.

I have been custom making parts lately. Here are a couple of shock towers that I made for an RC10. I made the rear today. It is a hybrid tower. It is copied from a JRX-Pro but I drilled the mounting holes and middle lightening holes to match the original RC10 tower. The front tower is based on the RC10 World's tower but I lengthened it so I could run the longer front shocks. I actually was just playing around which is why I made these. I have a pin router. I'm about to start making full chassis since I can get blanks that have a front nose kick.

Beautiful job mate! Really smart work there.
That's the stuff I'm after! Where did you find the FRP sheet??

I think this guy does not know what "excludes" means ;)

Try contacting Lei Composites, they do any thickness and any size of sheet.

Here in the US it's easy to find the stuff. I bought mine at www.mcmaster.com Shipping may kill you. Is there a certain part you want made. I may be able to help you out. Maybe not but you never know.
