I tried to snap some photos last night, but they didn't turn outh. I'll try to take some more here in the next day or so. I unbolted some stuff to mount on to my aluminum chassis last night and under the stuff I unbolted it looks like the resin wasn't quite dry because the stuff I bolted down dented the chassis. As an example, I had mounted my radio tray and there were two round indents where the posts for the radio try tightened down. I think I am just going to ultimately stick with aluminum and try to work something out with BEC to make a thinner chassis to my specs, they've already told me they could help me out and then I know it's CNC, etc.

Yeah taking pictures at night with artificial lighting is extreemly hard. Take these pictures in the day light outdoors, both in direct sunlight and also some in the shade. The pictures you take in the shade in the day time should come out very clear, I hope you get these pictures up soon because I really am interested in seeing what's going on here with your situation. The good thing is, now you can snap some pictures of this new problem of the resin you mention seems not dried. I'll be keeping an eye on this tread to see your pictures. Please get them up as soon as you can. If your having trouble taking them, maybe you can ask for some help from someone you know that's better at photography? Try the daytime shade outdoor scene and see what happens.

John said he would be happy to take back the chassis with mistakes. John said that if he made a mistake in the chassis, he will make you a new one, no problem. He said to send him an email first, and then he will have you send the chassis back for a replacement.

I'm very sad to say, That John is closing his Carbon Fiber/Kevlar/Aluminum Chassis bussiness. John was away on vacation for three days, and when he came back, had over 150 emails, almost all for new chassis orders, all of which John had to turn down. Here's what's been going on.

John has a primary Job and works 8 hours a day at his day job, and then comes home and works on his hobby, which is making carbon fiber chassis and performance race parts for RC's. As of late, Business has become overwhelming with orders comming in from all over the world. John is completely exhousted and is closing the business in order that he can spend more time with his family.

AMorgan, John said to write him again and continue to write him until you make contact, let him know you were on the rc monster thread and had trouble with your chassis. let him know exactly what the problems are. be specific and to the point. John said he will make you a new chassis, no problem. Keep in mind, this will be the last chassis because John is closing the carbon fiber chassis business. He's been overwhelmed and that takes all the fun out of this hobby of his. John does his best with every chassis he makes. We all makes mistakes and we can't satisy 100% of the people 100% of the time. That said, I told John about your chassis and the other chassis on this thread pictured above, and he said if you want a new chassis made, email John until you get his response, I would send a new email every three days, this will make you stand out from the hundreds of orders John is getting every week for Chassis and Parts, that he is now turning down/away.

PS.
Anyone that owns a MoosRacing Carbon fiber chassis and or parts, Please continue to post pictures of your Chassis and or Parts on this thread. We can still keep this thread going, Johns Chassis are owned and raced all over the world. This thread can be about your race experiences, why you like carbon fiber, and anything relating to your experience with your RC and Performance parts made of carbon fiber :) Have a great day.
