The chassis is some kind of reinforced plastic. Don't know for sure if it is graphite or fiberglass or ? Kind of like what you'd find on the early Losi molded chassis.

I think the instructions say that it's a carbon composite chassis.

Very nice indeed, I still need to source a Tekin RX and ESC for mine. What is that front shock tower? Never seen one like that, Custom Works :?:

Yeah, the yellow is a bit too standard race issue. I have a set of the 2.2" aluminum jelly bean wheels that would suit it better, I think. Just haven't had the time to dig em out.... :D
