Default Carbon Chassis?
Does anybody know if anyone is making a carbon chassis for the DEX410?

The standard chassis is better than those carbon ones , why spend more to go slower........strange the lure of some black material and some glue ..i just dont get it
Carbon i think has had its day in offroad! IMO

Sorry that last post seems a little grumpy...both those chassis look ace but i dont think personaly there would be a large market for them as the stock ali chassis is perfect for its job

There is no possible way you could know that, because there haven't been any carbon fiber chassis to compare the aluminum to. The defining difference in the two would be weight. These aren't 1/8th scale nitro buggies, so aluminum chassis are not that crucial—and aluminum CAN be tweaked.

Flex control would be something else that could be tuned with CF weaves, too.

But, boy, that carbon tub is damn sexy.

Yes i've already had an aluminium chassis tweak. That's why I would like to try a carbon chassis. The aluminium bowed in the middle and I wouldn't have noticed it only that my centre drive shafts kept falling out and I tracked it down to the chassis.

This is the most beautiful single R/C car part I've ever seen. I mean, you must be over 18 to view the thing here in the US, that's downright pornographic.

I'm great, thx! How are you mate?

No, he's a motocross star and is off racing that full time again now... he says motocross provides a lot more ***** than RC car racing!

I think the carbon fibre chassis is home made by 2009 IFMAR Champ, Martin Achter.
