Hi folks,
Good day. Would like to get some input on the project as titled.
I am planning to DIY a flat carbon chassis for my Serpent SRX8 GTE 1/8 on road in order to save weight and offer some chassis flex.
Have some question to those who had made their own before.
1) Original aluminium chassis is 3mm thick. Should i follow the 3mm thick or make it thicker ? 3.5mm? 4mm?
2) How do you copy the holes ACCURATELY. I reckon that if done manually (Trace out the hole, and punch the center , its not going to be 100% accurate)
3) Any downsides to making the front end flat? (Original chassis has some kick up angle).
4) 3K Twill weave CF vs 3K plain weave CF?
Thank you all for your feedback.
