But the other colors he has right now, he refers to as imitation carbon fiber-but is exactly what you said- Aluminum Coated Fiberglass. What also amazes me is that John has the weight down to the same as the stock lexan bodies. That's awesome. Please post some pictures up of your Hyper 9E carbon fiber chassis once you get it. Have a great day :)

I have reading about carbon and kevlar composites for a while, until i found that US law forbid to ship those materials to my country (in raw form).


I haven´t got my Hyper 9e yet and according to what you set i won't have a carbon chassis

Hi molak,
I can direct you to Robert of Matrix Concepts Inc, who is right now as we speak completing the finishing touches on the Complete Carbon Fiber Chassis and Carbon Fiber Kit for the Hyper 9E and Hyper 10sc as well. RCtech has a thread under Hobao Hyper 9E, last page and that should get you started. Robert of Matrix Concepts and John of MoosRacing are both Master Craftsmen in working with carbon fiber design for the purpose of performance and racing. You can also Google Search "Matrix Concepts Inc", and once at the home page, look to the upper right hand corner under Mission Statement, click on mission statement and you'll find Roberts direct emal address and direct phone number. Be sure to ask Robert to add you to the waiting list for the Complete Matrix Concepts Inc- Carbon Fiber Kit, which includes the Carbon Fiber Chassis, Carbon fiber shock towers, radio tray, center diff top plate, rear chassis brace, side guards, and more. The chassis alone should be priced at just under 100.oo dollars but specific pricing will not be set until the chassis and parts are released which will be around the time of the Nationals, which is quite soon. Let me know how this works out for you, I'm sure you'll be quite happy with Roberts work.

I would like to add that this is in NO WAY the chassis fault, there was 1 jump that would throw cars 20-30ft in the air with a crappy lander, and if you F***** up on the jump there was no way to prevent a nosedive from 20ft up...


FYI, the chassis didn't completely rip apart until the 10min race was over(I took 5th in the A) and I grabbed the buggy by the front tower to put in my car...

It sounds like you are in a country other than the USA. John of MoosRacing is not in the USA, John of MoosRacing is in Denmark.
