Thank you for the compliment Nope, the only one they still make is the RC10 tub and you would have to drill the holes in the front kick up plate by yourself: http://www.fibre-lyte.co.uk/

Nothing special at all, just elbow grease...
... and this:
At first I spray the diff pulley with WD40, let it soak a few minutes, then brush it with a toothbrush, rince with hot water, then a second run of WD40/toothbrush and lastly rince with hot water, add a dab of dishwash soap, brush and rince, you're done!
The metal parts get treated the same way except I obviously don't use water and soap. First step is to spray them with WD40, let them soak a bit, then I use a steelwool pad to gently scrub them (it prevents to remove material at critical locations), the outdrives are gently polished with a 1000 grit sandpaper sponge (see pic above). Last step is to clean and dry everything with a cloth.
I've done the other diff today using this very method, here is the result (thumb pics are clickable):
Before: After:
Rebuilt diff:
Now the transmission is done, took me a good three hours to get this (thank God the kids still do a nap ):

Hey thanks for the compliment on the car! The motor mount was cleaned with elbow grease and a metal cleaning product called 'Sidol' and meant to clean copper and other metals. Nothing really special, you need patience and care above all...

Plan for the weekend is to bend music wire, cut some double side tape to form and adapt the below Fibre-Lyte aerofoil wing to the old dog. It came with a full Traxxas Rad2 in poor shape I acquired directly from them a few years back but thought it would better fit da dawg. Again lots of craftmanship into it. Wing buttons had to be filed and inserted carefully inside the wing through the lateral holes in a surgical manner.

Hello,
I followed your COMCOM discussion with great interest - here are some supplement photos.
On the package can be seen, this chassis was manufactured in Great Britain by FIBRE- LYTE and sold by COMCOM.
Sorry for my bad English.
Thought this the best place to ask, but, didnt Chris Grainger use a tub carbon chassis in the BRCA touring rounds, on a YZ10, not a Works car!
Wish i stil had my okd RRCI's to check, but id love to have a custom made for the 94 car!
Some small progress on the yet old carbon dog that received its new wing wire, side dams as found in the original box from Hansell Composites, and a wing eventually. I still have some holes to drill in the bulkhead caps to mount the top deck, finish the rear stab bar, properly set the electronics and find a body. The pair of front copper springs it had are now on my 91 Stealth until I find another one of them Pictures reflect the type of wheather, daylight and mood we experience in this season in Central Europe.

Ok guys, I saw a new trend in the Off Topic forum about wrapping up cars and guessing what is hidden under, so I thought it might be fun to slowly discover what just landed on my doorstep yesterday. The only hint you will get for now is the sender's...
Hi guys, as a couple of you know I have been working with Fibre-Lyte recently to make parts available for the 95 World Champion Special (aka Pavidis Edition)
Front shock tower
Front shock tower (3mm)

Good work Matt! I know they had the pattern for towers available, but not listed on their website...however to get the whole lot and especially the long battery strap is ace! Big thumbs up for that :D .

Close to Cliff Leff paint scheme? Team Losi did have and still has their factory drivers paint scheme in their box art cars.

Has anybody had a problem communicating with this company. I had sent them an email last week about purchasing some bits from them for a CAT XLS. I used the email address they provide on their website and have gotten no response. I am not in dire...

Always helpful on the end of the phone, a pleasure to deal with
I cannot find any positive feedback about the company so I am curious how are they to do business with? I was also curious what types of payment do they accept?
Thank you

It took 5-6 months to take my order since the first day I contacted them,
and,
they charged me nearly £20 when real shipping cost was only £12'50...
so I'm a bit dissapointed...
