Custom carbon side plates on my Cougar

[j0pp3]

Hi folks!

Just finished my carbon mod on my Cougar. Made some side plates for the electrics so it will be easier to clean the car after a day on the race track. I am using the original screw holes in the chassi to mount the plates.

Cheers

Cool idea! What about the flex in the chassis?

Thanks, and you got a point there. I am using 1mm carbon (lot of flex) and the chassi is made of 2.5mm. I will also only mount the side plates with only one screw on each side (at the rear end). That solution will probably not interfere too much with the original flex. I have to wait until next week to try it out on the track though.

Okay, I have now tried this out on my local astro turf track and there where no difference in drive performance. Victory!
