RC10 93 worlds rear tower Iridium Carbon fiber
Today was exciting. The first batch of iridium carbon fiber parts got cut. This includes BK rear towers for the 93 worlds car (mounting holes still need to be countersunk) as well as a batch of towers for the Losi mini JRX2. I’m sure many of you have seen “iridium” carbon fiber and I imagine many have not. Basically is a high strength grade of carbon fiber made in the USA that has holographic glitter particles embedded in the surface. This is apparently the material Brian Kinwald used for the rear shock tower on his 93 worlds car. Let me know what you think! (One photo shows the holographic glitter particles in the microscope)

You can order it from DA graphite.
And, they still have some 2mm sheets left over from the 90's. Not gonna make any chassis or towers with it, but....

This is the material from DA graphite in 0.072”. The 0.090” would be better but doesn’t exist. This material is better quality than most commercial carbon fiber and I think the 0.072” should be more than adequate strength wise.
