Ryu James · 06:26 PM

i am building a RC8T brushless conversion and am going to make my own carbon fiber chassis. my question is this; the stock chassis has the slight angle up on the front end. i cannot find anyone who is willing to make a custom cf piece with a bend in it like that. so i will just have to use a straight piece, which will work, but i am wondering if this will effect how the car performs, handles, or anything like that. anyone tried this before?

obviously i cannot bend the carbon fiber but i have thought about just using a 4mm alum. sheet. can 7075 alum be bent ever so slightly? if so, how is this done? do i just heat it up?

oops. posted this in wrong forum. meant to go in the project x.
