PS. for those of you who are wondering..the carbon fiber was bought from www.dagraphite.com
they are great to work with. Robin is who helped me with everything. they custom make your sheet but only sell a minimum size of 18" x 24". i paid $260 for the 18" x 24" x 5mm 1k fineweave piece. so i can actually get 3, maybe 4, chassis' out of this one sheet. i may sell the extra i have. if anyone is interested in some 5mm tough carbon fiber just pm me.

they also sell scraps on ebay. their user id is graphite-girl. just search carbon fiber sheets and you will see their listings.

they also sell a really cool colored carbon. avail. in blue, red, pink, titanium, etc. to get the color they use a single outer layer of texalium. texalium is a very tough aluminum cloth. it is stronger and lighter than the normal cloth used in carbon fiber. i was going to get a blue sheet for the RC8T build but decided against it cuz i figured it would just get very dirty and lose the color. but i would like to see some in person. i was told by Robin that it is just as strong in every way.

Looks good. Only thing I would be concerened about is the lack of kick up on the front of the chassis. The stock chassis looks to have 10 degrees or so of bend on the front where the front bulk head mounts. This could change the handeling significantly. Also wondering if without this kickup if the front if the front of the chassis will have more a tendancy to dig in if the front bottoms out.

Beautiful work over all!!!! I'm interested to hear how it does when you get it on the track.
