Featherlight Fibre-Lyte RC10 chassis
Hi guys,
Thanks to Chewbacca I finally get my hand on one of my most wanted R/C items: a carbon fiber tub. This one is directly coming from outer space, brought back to Earth by a Wookie who travelled a lot to come to it... I know there's another version with carbon fibers woven in the direction of the chassis (can't remember the brand though), Mr. Lexan bought one recently for a few bucks, maybe he could post some pictures of it?
Now I have to decide whether it will be fitted with white and/or black parts, gold or kaki team shocks... mmh, decisions... Or maybe with aluminium A-arms (could someone recall me the URL of that e-shop still making some?) and blacks parts? Time will tell... what I am already sure is that it will have brand new Fibre-Lyte front and rear shock towers and tranny brace (still available). Comments are welcome, images are clickable

I don't think I could dare to run this chassis even on the most soft carpet

well, nobody seems to share the same opinion... like me, I don't even know if I should build it or not SO afraid of scratching it

Yes, I think I'll be heading for those A-arms, Fibre-Lyte shocks towers and polished front tubes, BLING BLING

Yeah... white RPM .. Gold and black on carbon tubs seem like old news now....!! hehehe
P.S.. I like the look of your nicely laminated carbon MUCH better compared to the full tub molded fabric. No matter what you do, I'm looking forward to checking out your finished build. Not much that can make that Carbon Fiber look bad!
I'll be happy to send you a set of polished front tubes if you need them.
