Carbon fibre and Fibreglass body shells

Recommended Posts

Hi hope this is ok with the mods but im just testing the water with this idea to see if there is a demand for them.

Any how after a bit of descusion with a work freind who make 1:1 CF car parts i have persuaded him to make me a fg marder shell from carbon fibre (waiting to find a good shell cheap so he can create a mold)

Now we have been talking alot about this and he is really interested in doing rc car shells in CF and GRP (Fibreglass) The problem been is lack of shells to mould from as me only having a hpi hellfire and fg marder and mini 8ight and my freind not having any.

We are just wondering how many people would be interested in carbonfibre shells and fibreglass shells?

What shells? What scale?

GRP or CF?

Would there be a high demand for these?

Let me know what you think guys.

Cheers

Rich

nothing is set in stone yet buddy but if me and my friend do go ahead with it i will let you know

make 5 in each model, of the popular shells,then go from there then make to order
