The Matrix Concepts carbon fiber losi 8ight chassis

[spcpicard]

I've replaced the front and rear skids once since I've owned it. If you use the DE racing skids front and back, it keeps wear to a minimum. The front wears faster right at the bend since the de bump skid doesn't cover it. The rear could last forever with the use of the de rear skids, just drop a line of Ca glue to the front part to keep it from peeling (CA bonds great with CF) There is no question on durability for sure, last race they were using large wooden jumps and I was tripling the double double every once in a while, at the end of the last qual I lost traction on the face of the first jump and cased the top of the third wooden jump from about 25 feet landing almost straight down on the middle of the chassis. The car hit so hard it bounced up probably 12 feet. Several people came over after the qualifier wanting to see if my chassis was bent (they didn't know it was CF) I couldn't even find a mark where it hit. Several people said that if it would have been Aluminum, it definitely would have bent from an impact like that.
