Cf would be strong enough, more rigid than aluminum. But for better heat dissipation, I would do it in aluminum. But I don't feel like doing it right now. I'm too busy and my attention is towards RC helicopters.

IMO, I don't trust a spinning soda can that has the power to probably run a freaking SmartCar to CF.
I don't know why, in my mind, CF seems to be a bit weak... Again, never really worked with it, but I've always thought (even though it's incorrect, sometimes) metal > CF.
What helicopters!?
Me too!

Funny you should mention heli's.....After a bad incident involving a Blade CP rtr heli I bought on the spur of the moment a year or two ago (I had some really bad bruises on my arm and broken chopper) I recently decided to give it a second go round cause I didn't like that it had beat me, literally and figuratively. I got a Walkera cb100 to teach myself how to fly this time and I'm slowly getting the hang of it. It's much more forgiving when I crash than the blade was,lol

Heli is great fun but really really bad when they crash. I may be getting another soon tho. I have a friend that has one and never uses it.

I've been practicing on the Pheonix sim all winter. I feel I'm ready but my wallet doesn't agree. I'm pretty much set on an Align Trex 500 super combo and a Spektrum DX8 or JR 9503. It's all in my shopping cart on the Great Hobbies website along with an E-Flite Blade CX2 for my son.

No it will not work, it's too big and the tooth count on the gear is not the same as the nitro version.

Very nice Molak, This is what I originally wanted to do. Bit I lack the machine tools, and cutting the plastic bulk is much easier for me.
I am sure those cases would sell like hotcakes...

Since Im from Argentina shipping costs and import duties (50%!!) will make those cases expensive!
I'll check how much that case cost in the nearest losi dealer to get an aproximate. But any machinist can do those. Maybe Mike could make them ..
