buil with carbon fiber and plastic?
 
hello maxx owner,
i come from germany and my english is very bad - sorry.
I have any question about the carbon fiber chassi from gorillamaxx.
I want to drive the carbon fiber with stock/RPM parts. I think this is a better compilation than the complete Alu Chassi with alu suspension - i think, for hardcore races and crashes you need parts to form and break, if you build only with alum. you had distortion.

did anyone crash a carbon fiber chassi or has it in use for hardcore racing??? - Did it break by racing-accidents?(carbon)
(Carbon isnt impact resistand)
What did you think about ???
thank you for answer!

I race a carbon fiber chassis and haven't had issues with breakage at all. I also run all aluminum because I like the precision in the steering and suspension (flex makes for sloppier handling). I don't tend to crash much, but haven't broken or bent a lot of stuff over the past few years. If everything is built properly (no loose screws, etc.), you won't have any problems with the durability.

I have the CF chassis and have not had any problems with it jumping or tumbling. I even had a couple of screws come loose and the chassis was basicly held on to the front bulkhedads with one or two screws and nothing happend. I drove it at least half of the day like this. I will be using locktight on all the screws now.

i will see how my luck goes with CF chassis. Hopfully well.
