Filthy!!! So just curious how is the CF skeleton upper reinforcement is bonded with the titanium chassis plate? Is it an epoxy laminate setup then milled out? Or is it all CF (milled) with some titanium stiffeners for the motor mount? Very BA regardless!

It’s all carbon fiber milled with Ti tc4 engine plates/mounts that screw in, one could bond the plates in if the wanted.

Above is the result of my obsession with carbon fiber and titanium. Shock towers, pipes , chassis, turnbuckles , all in carbon

No words on how awesome those parts look. What is the general weight savings on the Ti towers?

Fairly new to the 5T and Probably answered but have to ask about the Yellow suspension. RPM?

No I make them from white nylon stock.

I’m about to do some hot pink , and purple soon, I’ll have two very crazy builds coming up , meant for racing but bmx bike inspired.

I am an Orange color fan and used to buy the White RPM stuff and Rit dye them. I'll keep an eye out for that color if you do a run of that.

I'll be watching and look forward to that build.
