RC10GT Graphite chassis

[**chris73**]

I am looking into producing a variety of colored graphite chassis and matching shock towers for the RC10GT nitro stadium truck. This graphite material will offer lighter weight while still retaining the strength. The material I use is real graphite not black or colored fiberglass that brakes easily. Would any of you folks be interested in this type of product? Any concerns ?

I think I would snap a graphite chassis on the RC10GT real quick....I dunno...I have never seen anyone run a graphite chassis on the RC 10GT

Graphite chassis on a nitro offroad truck doesn't seem like a good idea to me. I could see maybe some shock towers to reduce weight and add stiffness thought.

Mabe if i was a carbon chassis brace.

yeah.. i seen some carbon fiber chassis's for the XXXNt.. i think they work because of Losi's center brace that runs the length of the truck almost..

AE dont have much chassis brace in their truck.. i dont think it would be very good.. Also AE is working on a new GT2

well now not all of us have enough money to buy the new gt..........


I'm 14

if you read the description the guy says "i think it's cf but it might be graphite"

i would never buy anything from a guy that doesn't even know what he's selling

Thanks for the replies.

I checked out the chassis on ebay, and boy does that look like crap. It looks like it was made from a pice of flat stock, or something.

Nope, when I manufacture items they look like they belong there, "They look good." Also, I know what material they are made of, No guessing. Likewise, I am conserned about how a graphite chassis for a RC10GT would hold up. Although I am very confident that it will work out just fine for that application, I would beat the snot out of one before selling any, just to see what it could hold up to.
