Hey everyone,
I have received a few e-mails about my carbon fiber chassis braces. I am thinking of creating a chassis stiffener package. The package will include a total of 4, 1.5mm carbon fiber chassis braces/stiffeners. The 1st brace will connect the top of the two bulkheads, and have one screw in the center which connects to the center diff housing. The 2nd stiffener will run along side the right side of the chassis. This will mainly be used to prevent flex around the pinion/spur gears. When running the stock configuration I will have the same brace modified for the left side of the chassis. The 3rd and 4th stiffener will run between the rear bulkhead/center diff and the front bulkhead/center diff.
This package will require to drill a total of 6 holes in the chassis. If you think you are unable to do this, I will include an option which will include a brand new stock chassis with pre-drilled and countersunk holes for an $9.99 shipped. This package will come with step-by-step instructions with pictures and all the necessary screws/nuts/washers. I will also have two packages. One for the stock configuration and one for the flip mod motor. Both the same price. The top brace is created in a way where it can be used for both chassis configurations. You just have to flip it over and it can be used with the flipped motor configuration.
I will also sell the top brace that connects the bulkheads seperately. This brace will be $14.99 shipped.
I am also thinking of selling the pictured battery brace along with the posts seperately for $7.99 shipped. I will have two versions, one for a stick pack for an RC18T and one for a block pack for the Mini-T/LST. The one pictured is for the block pack.
What I'm asking you if you would be interested in an item like this. I have not tallied up the final costs yet but it shouldn't be more than $30 shipped. If I were to make a first batch of 10 will you be willing to buy it? Btw, this can be used with any other aftermarket chassis.
Here is a picture of two of the included braces. Do not judge the dullness of the carbon fiber. This is just my prototype, the final product will be very glossy just like the battery brace pictured, and black.
Thank you for your time,
