I too find the 1/8 easier to control at higher speeds. Just got to save up a bit for new diffs and the slipperential.

you guys just need more power and the 1/8th's will handle like crap lol....

its good news its closer now. i need to get a pinion gear or switch to 1 speed, and a radio in it. i sold my 3pks, but now i wish i didn't. other than that, its ready to go.

what top speed are you geared to?

I remember yours endlessly doing 4 wheel burnouts.

I'm geared for 50mph or so, but it sures comes at you fast. I'm liking the 10s A123 setup, as I peak at 88amps at around 2034Watts. Way more play time now.

Hey guys I have finished my Carbon Fiber chassis.It came out great.The original chassis is offset to one side so I made the CF chassis symetrical.It was actualy pretty easy I used a jig saw to cut it out and countersank all the screws.I also picked up a Neu 1515.5y/s new for 200.00 bucks.Put a Losi heatsink on it and run it on 3s.Its fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Great job on that chassis man. Makes me wanna have one too.

Nice CF chassis! Any idea how much weight it saved? So no problems with fraying /seperation from cutting the CF with the jig saw?

I bought a 1507 model Bosch jig saw and the best metal cutting blades I think they are 20tpi.No seperation problems.I got the plate from Dragonplate 1/8 inch 3.17mm 15 layer carbon fiber.I put the smooth side up and the textured side down then finished the bottom with 15 coats of polyurethane sanded with steel wool.At first I tried using my 20 year old BD jig saw and it did overheat the cf that made it seperate.The Bosch jigsaw made the differance that made it possible.I did tester pieces to make sure that it would work before I even started the chassis along with testing countersinks.I am going to do another chassis in SSg 4mm silver graphite next.
As for the weight savings that wasnt realy a issue I wanted a chassis purpose built for electric.Its wider than the original and no extra holes with organized battery mounting holes.
