Carbon Fiber Chassis

[Steven_baugus]

Does anyone know where I can find a carbon fiber chassis for a traxxas Stampede or where to get carbon fiber plates for fairly cheap???

Theres no production CF chassis for a Stampede. I've bought CF plates and made a custom bottom chassis for my RS4 2. Ill find a link to the company I used. My dad has a machine shop so he has the right contacts for these things.

One place for just plain CF plate is McMastercarr.com

You can make a custom chassis by buying a carbon fiber sheet then cutting it and stuff.

how do you cut it though?

Get ready to go through some equipment, because carbon fiber is extremely hard on things like drills, lathes, saw blades and things like that. I'm not saying at all that it can't be done because it can, but just plan to replace a few things when you get done.

i did try to cut cf long ago on my usa-1 chasis i used a diamond dremel bit and it cut okay just not smooth at all
