Re: Yokomo Chassis
Purely based on the look of the countersunk holes I'd say glassfiber. The cut edges and countersunks on a graphite chassis are darker than the ones on black coloured GRP.
Get a second opinion though![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

Re: Yokomo Chassis
for the $25.00 price tag even at the time, im going to say its fiberglass, based on the look of the holes also.

Re: Yokomo Chassis
The first one is black fiberglass (based on the same observations as mr lexan), and the second one is a combination of carbon outer layers with a fiberglass core. This is very popular from that era. The center layers of a composite offer little strength, so by using a less expensive alternative at the core, (eg. fiberglass) one was able to keep down costs when compared to a solid carbon or graphite piece. While at the same time offering similar physical characteristics (although slightly heavier). -Jeff

Re: Yokomo Chassis
JD is fully right, and while being heavier it is in a way helping to keep your CG lower
