Yea, one of my best friends just happens to be Alan Johnson of Johnson's Hot-Rod Shop (7-time hot-rod builder of the year), and he has every type and kind of CNC machinery you can think of, and all I have to do is pay for materials. Problem is, all of the machines are always running, so finding time to cut my parts is difficult. I am buying my own small CNC machine soon (vertical mill converted to full 4-axis CNC), though, so I will be able to cut my own parts very soon.
I think 3.2mm CF would be pretty flex-free, because I have a hard time flexing my 2mm CF when in the proportions we will be needing for the G-Maxx parts.
Titanium can be bent with no problems, and won't weaken it any, it just needs to be bent cold. The process Hardcore, GA, and other companies use for bending Ti skids is doing it after the Ti has been brought down to below-freezing temps, sometimes using dry ice, but any household sub-zero freezer will work, maybe even a standard freezer like in your fridge.
