My personal opinion is the mostly plastic, budget/entry level cars that didn't get much aftermarket attention would make for the most interesting full carbon builds. With the pro-level cars you typically already get carbon/graphite, and aluminum materials so remaking the parts in CF isn't a big jump in quality.

A lot of Tamiya cars for example would be a good starting point for a full CF build. :wink:

True what you say, Phin, but doing your own carbon fiber parts just screams pimpin'. 8)

Personally I like to see vintage cars stay mostly period correct but other than that I am a big fan of carbon If it has a practical application I say bring it on.

You make very nice parts Jerzi, but I'd like to see some of your own design aside of the copies of the originals.
