Custom Carbon Fibre Chassis Supplier Wanted

[Bigdawgracer]

Hi All,

My first post in this section, please be gentle!

I'm building an electric 1/8 truggy using 2 cars from the same manufacturer.
Never one to go done the easy road, I'd like to make my own carbon fibre chassis.
The good folk at Fibrelyte have had a look at pics of the old chassis but the front kick-up appears to be an issue.

Is there anywhere that can make me a blank carbon fibre chassis/sheet with kick-up?
I can cut to size and drill all holes etc here.

I hope that makes sense.

Thanks for reading.

Thanks,
I've been watching.

One question, is the resin the same as that used for fibre-glassing?
I have some of that here.

Thanks

Hi.
I use epoxy.

best bet is use something like the west systems epoxy, which is a cold cure epoxy resin, the polyester resin used with fibreglass would work, but it would be weak and easily damaged by impact so is not a good idea really. you should find plenty of things online about using cf, have a look around and a read....

What degree is the kick up? The reason I as is jake on RC10 talk is cutting chassis with a 25 and 30 degree kick up so it shouldn't be too hard to find the carbon you need
