Sorry don't know. I got these pic few years ago from the WWW. I guess, they are graphite.

[color=#00FF40as this is my C-Car I know that it is black dyed GFK and not CFK - as far as I know there was no carbon fibre chassis for the C-Car (and with a reason!)

I am still working on a relaunch of my http://www.rccarmuseum.org and maybe an English version (at the moment there is only a German/Austrian version available) … :-)
… but it might take some time

I am also working on some other vintage models to make them at least nice for a picture or two

if there are any questions about it, I will try to answer [/color]

maybe there was an aftermarket chassis in graphite > I was asking at Schumacher Racing for one in the 80s and was told that it wouldn't work as intended (too stiff) ;)

so I dyed my GFK ones black - being my favourite colour (besides red - used on my bodyshells) and added an extension to the radioplate :)
