Can anyone point me in the right direction? I am trying to make a chassis plate for a crawler but can't get hold of a sheet of fibre(as in what HPI do their chassis in) Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
James.

search for fiberglass (or FRP)

I don't know where to buy stuff in the UK.
Why are you using fiberglass?
IMO, you're probably better buying delrin from a local plastics place

In the UK go to your nearest marine chandlers and as for West Epoxy Systems (the best). They will have all you need. If you're lucky the fibre glass samples West give away for free will be big enough for your needs. If you have no luck there contact West directly and they may send you the free samples in different weights of glass. Worth a try.
