Default One-Off Carbon Fibre Chassis Maker

Hi All,

I'm going to be starting a thread on here soon about the 1/10 buggy I've been building over the last few weeks. Nothing extreme, just something a little bit different!

Anyways, I've modified an original aluminium chassis and would like to use this as a pattern for a carbon fibre version.
Fibrelyte aren't keen on using my pattern so are there any other carbon fibre companies out there who could work from a pattern?

OR any companies who could re-anodise the original chassis?

Thanks for the help!

Hi,
Thanks for the replies!

I don't have cad or access to it and have never done it!

I thought that it would be easier to send someone the aluminium chassis to use as a pattern but I was wrong...

With that in mind I have a piece of carbon fibre sheet here so will have a go at making it myself.

It's PR based, as I say nothing ott just something a bit different.
I will put a build blog up on here when I get some more time.

Thanks all.

If you have it in aluminium form then it is easy to copy even if it has kickup.
