i cut some out of the red CF i have too. its 3.5mm thick instead of 3mm. so a bit tougher, it also hads less gaps in the laminated layers compared to the black. so it is just beefier all around.
i moved the overall center of gravity more to the front of the chassis on this shape to allow for a more forward mounted shock position.
i also cut a center plate out of the red CF, so its pretty bling when its together,
went to th LHS yesterday and ordered some parts so i should have those middle of next week. stay tuned to see a roller!!
pick your poison.
