High density Nylon stuff?
 
Sorry, my brain fell out (again) and I cant seem to find the E-Revo thread where it was mentioned/used to make battery trays. Whats it called again & where can it be bought online? Not for myself but a guy on another forum doing a Revo conversion.

And which Revo conversion thread was it used in again....:007: cursed poor memory.

I believe that has the dimensions you are after.

Hey, that thar be me :) I'm using similar stuff on my V2 as I was so satisified w/ it on v1. LMK if you have any ?'s

FYI, I made some errors in the specs on the 1st post, which couldn't edit, so were updated further down.

The density is ~.9g/cc (floats) and is not quite half the weight of CF. However 1/8" material is a bit too flexible to be used as batt trays, 1/4" is much stiffer. IE, you end up with a thicker tray than CF, but about same weight, easy to work with and highly affordable. You could do some stragetic shaving to bring it down, but I never bothered.

I have a 1/8" strip that works extremely well as a roll hoop tho bc of the flexibilty.
