I got my CF from carbonfiber.com.au (in australia).

I am using a carbide cutting bit in my dremel for the CF or just a cutting wheel. For the alu i either use a cutting wheel or a milling bit (i think??)

Yeah, I've been toying with the idea of making my own carbon fiber chassis and plates when I get my XXL.

Was it hard to cut? Did it split? Did you seal the edges of the CF wiht super glue?

I haven't driven my XXL much to be honest. It's just been too wet and i don't want to get all my elecs wet.

The way i had it set up before i wouldn't think the CF would split.

The CF was easy to cut but i used a jigsaw for most of it.

Yeh i sealed the CF with super glue. What i did was run a bead of glue on the edge and leave it for about 10 seconds then wipe it off. I also did this for the screw holes by doing a similar thing.

Do you think the 2.5mm will be thick enough? If I measured correctly the stock XXL chassis is 3.5mm
