fober glass ?

Post by pattywagon34 »

the rc10 shock tower and early battery strap are made out of fiberglass,
does any one sell sheets of that same fiber glass? i want to design my own shock towers using the same fiberglass to keep the original look of the rc10.
a few of my other car have broken parts that are made of the same material.

these guys also sell 'glass that is a lot closer to the original finish, but there is quite a wide variation, so there is some uncertainty with what you will actually get.

most chassis and shock tower thicknesses are .093", but occasionally 1/8" also.

so either the yellow/green stock looking stuff, or they also have black, in whatever size you want to buy. I usually buy 12"x12", or something close to that. that can yield alot of parts.
