evening...
i took one of my upperdecks an used a sandpaper to determine if its 90-90 or quasi isotropic...i would say its 90-90. i just remeberd that when i was building my 4wd prototype a few months ago, i had 90-90 carbon too. and after loads of packs it was the same problem, it was soft like GFK. and i m sure that this was 90-90 because they only sell that one. and you can t see any damage with the human eye, i mean i cant see any damage...
i do not have contacted kmc, because if i will ride that layout again, i will produce some chassis with the carbon from
www.swiss-composite.ch , they have quasi isotropic one, which i already used in an touring car prototype. there it works fine.
but thats the thing, i have two cars, with specific setups to both layouts, same tires same engine etc. and the car with the original layout is faster most of the time. its got usually more grip. but it has less strait on traction. when you are faster in the corner especially out of it, you don t need so much rear traction, maybe thats why its faster?
to be sure about the test, i gave both cars to a friend of mine without telling him wich car it is.
about the diff gear damage, yes the kmc car needs more diffs. definitly, i cant say how much more but it is more.
your modification could help with that. at the momemt im trying to do the brace around the diff cage with carbon, if it helps, i will tell you.
by the way, the last testride with the kmc was on this track in germany:
www.mac-inzell.de
probably it was to hard for the kmc kit. not to say that the original was faster on this track than the worn out kmc.
there was only one track i know where the kmc was faster: in koppl, a very slippery track with slow lots of 180 turns.
just saw your braces for the damper stay. good thing, how can i get them to switzerland?
greetings from at the moment rainy switzerland
