G2R Bling Bling teaser pics
 

I just got these from the machine shop today. Can anyone tell the difference between these and the stock ones? I'll have more pics once I clean up the edges and mount them.

Coooool, carbon fiber

Those look niceee!!!

Chris,
Get those finished up and mounted so you can show me at the track tomorrow night :003:

Nice! You got a head start on George!

The difference between yours and the stockers will be these extra two "ears" on the front upper deck, right?

Correct you are. There are extra ears on the rear deck also. Unforntunately I ran into a few problems with them so I can't post pics of what they are for. I should have it all together this weekend.

Let me guess. Some kind of roll-cage?

I can't wait to see it together. That is cool.

Not a roll cage, but that is a good idea if this was going to be a bash truck.

Looks really good, how would this be manufactured, what machines?

Are the ears for a Anti-roll bar?

Very nice ccristo! But 1 thing worries me, the flex, already the aluminum has a bit of flex in them, and i dont know if carbon fiber will be too durable , but in bling factor its awesome! :)

Carbon Fiber is not as flexy as aluminum. In most cases they either crack or break, but dont bend.

well than it might have cracking problems lol, the g2r is a bit more suffisticated(sp?) than normal g-maxx chassis, thats why im wondering if some if not all those plates hold up to everyday running.

Nick - The parts are made on a cnc milling machine. The ears are not for an anti roll bar/sway bar, but hat is another good idea though. When I get home I'll see if i could add that.

The CF is very stiff. It's 3mm so there is no flex at all. I don't think they will break, but I'll have to wait to run it to see.

3mm carbon fibre will take some SERIOUS abuse! Some lovely machine work there CCristo
