What do you need done on the plate? angles or forms? check my current project on my signature, it's fair easy to work on CF.

You guys should check out DA Graphite www.dagraphite.com
I've been ordering from them since the '80s. Very good quality quasi-isotropic flat sheets. I'm not sure if he can do angles or not. Well right angles at least. He does have forms for 30 and 20 degree kick ups. I'm sure he could form it off some aluminum angle, but that stuff is never perfectly 90.

He also does custom fab from a sample piece. He supplies some other aftermarket companies with their stuff.

Sorry for the late reply. Here is a pic of what I need done. It's just a top plate for my 1/8 conversion. if I cannot get it in CF, I may have to settle with Al with some lightening :036:

My craft skills are near non-existant whereas you're at master craftsman level. So, I am destined to have to look around for someone to help.

BTW, your project looks very good & well thought out. Battery in the center is the way to go in my opinion. Battery too far away from the centerline of the vehicle affects handling. That's what I am experiencing now with my buggy. On the straight in terms of speed & acceleration - it outruns everyone easily. However, in the corners for some reason it is just not so comfortable. Even, the nitro with their constant on-off throttle to feed on the power band can out handle my e-buggy.

Regards,
Joe Ling
