Fusion Tubs

Post by TheTexasTornado »

While browsing the bay yesterday I came across a graphite rc10 tub, the guy said it was a fusion, does anyone know anything about these? Do they handle well?

Look closely at those pictures. The chassis is broken around some of the screw holes.

If you do a quick search in the RC10 section you'll turn plenty of info up on these chassis, there are a number of Fusion tub cars amongst our members :wink:

They are cool to look at, but thats about it. They wear out, they are fragile, and don't handle as well as the aluminum tubs. -Jeff

Check out my thread for details of the fibrelyte tub.

Mine is very thick, super light, and rediculously strong. Being carbon, and not graphite, its not brittle and I doubt it'll suffer any real wear. As for the weight difference affecting the handling; I'm using alloy wheels on mine so the weight lost from the centre chassis is gained back at the four corners of the wheels, which should help stability and handling overall. :wink:
