same questiongrf said:looks very nice.
where did you get the carbon fiber from?
Stock aluminum tower weight 122gram, and you can expect around 70 gram if made in carbon fiber.wicks-redcat said:have not weigh it but i did see alot of differnce on weight just by holding the 2 pieces so far almost done next is the receiver box in c/f did you get the 5/16 thick thats the same as stock
Hell yeah I' like one tooMartin said:Now, for when someone will make a carbon fiber frame?
yeah that would be coolhamster huey said:Also how would you bend it for the front kickup? Im wodering if some extended skid plates could be made to make it stronger?
Sprint 77 said:I guess you guys might not realize . All this talk of carbon fiber layups . It has been ten years but I hold a degree in composite engineering and was the cheif composite technician for many Indy Race teams in the late 80's early 90's .
Actually a front skid plate with the kick up would help a lot without much weight added. We just need to split up a material order instead of you all buying third party vendors.
Problem I have is time with what all I got going on metal fab wise.
