The sheet was labeled as 2.5mm but it really measures around 2.8mm in thickness. Plenty strong enough for this application.
OK, so 3.2 might be too much?

Striffy, looks good, I had to file a little bit on my carbon fiber servo tray, and yes black all over, and itchy in places I shouldn't have been. Hard to believe the mass it makes, looks very good though. A great suructual upgrade.
I think 5mm would be just fine for the chassis. Friend ordered 5mm for his F1 chassis.Do you guys think CF could be used for the chassis if it was the right thickness and weave?
Buy a rally car:helpsmilie:Thats looks great monotheist, very good work for a saw and a dremel, I know I don't have the patience to do that by hand :no: . The more I look at this stuff, the more I am aching to get my MCD in and start making parts. I have alreadt contacted Largescalerc about getting a race runner as well, so it begins.........again .
The more I look at these pictures you guys have up, the more the gears spin.
A word on working with carbon fiber, wear a respirator, that dust settles into your lungs, and it never comes out, it just builds up over time until you start coughing chunks of lung up. If you are going to work with it, with the ol' saw and dremel, have a spray bottle of water, and keep everything misted down to keep the dust out of the air.
I was originally thinking to redo mine in Aluminum, I have some 2.5mm 7075 at the shop. If I was to purchas a piece of CF how much would I need to do the braces and radio tray?
hey just been looking at post,
what great CF work, i was trying some myself & made gear cover, what fun,
as monotheist, its great seeing waht you can make with minimal tools and a bit of effort. i've made a few alloy bits too.
