can you put a picture here? I know you have a forum etc, but you cant view it unless you log in, which isn't really user friendly.

Also as you dont link anything directly these updates are lost in one of the many threads on your forum.

If you did this then it wouldn't seem like spam every time you post.

I am interested in seeing this stuff and I think your enthusiasm is top, but I have given up trying to find anything you post here as it leads to a giant goose chase on your forum which usually proves fruitless.

Had a look on fibre lyte and nothing there. Is this an exact copy, if so what's the point, plus does Chris not have these copyrighted.

no not dyed black its top ranking GRP plus loads diffrent seems quite a few like it has quite a few on order also you have the choice of where you fit the battery and servo if you try and fit a diffrent servo on the yellow grp the holes come next to each other also you can only fit the batt one way lexan way here you have the choice again.

ok, what's different, looks the same to me. Just saying loads different isn't going to get me to buy it.

At the moment we have potentially different material.
Different colour.

What else?

Well basically we wanted a chassis that would take what ever Gear you have lying around or prefer. . .. I have a bigger servo and I Like the cobra battery holder but if I drill holes then the new ones are to close so I said to Chris i want a chassis with no holes in it for the servo and Lexan tray .

Sorry cant do that costs to much to do oh ok Ill get some made then and it was that simple the Fibre Lyte chassis is known as the Mardave GP chassis as in Gary & Paul its that simple really but a Carbon one is still around £36 so a Grp one is cheaper

why? how do you think the western world works?

i would agree if someone was selling something for thirty quid that cost them a pound to make, but when you look at the cost (investment) required to set up a company, people have to charge a bit extra to feed their kids!

very few companies in the world are run as charities, and if they are, it's usually unintentional!!!

i'm sure that if they don't sell many, it won't be because "real davers" don't understand business. they may well decide it isn't for them, maybe because of the price, but i bet whatever they do for a living that funds their racing makes a profit, so they'll understand!

Thanks for that FRST mate i tried to drive the price down with fiber lyte but they was not having it mate hence why i have gone to another cutter. just makes me smile that the guy makes a comment like he did that i was making money but again thanks for your comment if Jason would like my phone bill and petrol bill he is more than welcome to settle the accounts for me
