Team Blue Groove are now got carbon fiber chassis kit for Optima MID.

It includes both chassis plates, Shock towers, Rear camber plate, Motor Plate and braces all for under 100.00.

Good stuff im getting a set soon.

is it single wheel base only or does he have a long wheel base version? I have a Mid that I would like to convert.

I am sure that some people will take this the wrong way as competition knocking the competition (not my intent), but a fellow member (MikeDealer) bought some of his carbon parts and wasn't impressed with the material thickness, stated it was fragile. If you are planning a runner, you might want to consider that. If a shelfer, then no worries.

IIRC, mike's main problem was with the upper deck being thin. I thought that the rest was fine. I may not remember correctly though.

i have the ultima and optima set and just the top plate was thin but what the heck , the milling was nice n all. any links to the mid set he has?

I agree with Jay TBG seems to like to cut alot of corners to save money

I was just remebering what Mike said, as at the time I wanted to go for an Optima kit and decided not too (he's blocked me anyway, don't know why). I don't have a kit to comment, so don't take what I say to heart.

Make your own judgements.

there are certainly some different level's of quality out there, his bodies still aren't up to scratch from what i have seen and heard but im yet to own one myself. keen to see your part's mark

He has just bought a CNC machine for the carbon fiber stuff.

So unless you have a chassis kit from TBG not others how can you make any comments!!!!!!!

If there is problems im sure he will fix it.

Cut Corners???????? Mmmm i have had a problem once out of 20 bodies,wings i have bought. It was fixed and a replacement was sent free of charge. If you want a shelfer than go and spend a heap on a OEM body. For runners his shells are great. Maybe he should stop supplying shells with over spray film Hey.

I can't believe how quick you guys like to knock others .

I have a TBG body and it is not bad at all but the material feels softer than any original body I have (I would use it for racing any time). On the CF parts I can't talk much but I know by looking at it that the RC10 chassis doesn't look well designed, specially the front end were the nose tubes meets with the chassis. The kits for other cars might work better.

This is the link to the Ultima chassis that bdrmbully did.

I was trying to remember what Mike said and it's a free forum. People can post their opinion, besides I made that disclaimer.

Also, I'd love to have one, but have been blocked without any explanation.
