RE: CARBON FIBER RUSTLER BODY
This is the most i have made so far.its a big collection.heres a picture from today
2 baja bods,1 is a desert rat,a mini erevo,and a rustler..
To my suprise,theres no demand for the mini erevo. I think its a nasty looking little guy LOL ..its my pic.
I like that mini ! ...the carbon goes great with the black chrome on the wheels.

RE: CARBON FIBER RUSTLER BODY
you use jellcoat and fiberglass,and after about a week of work you remove it from the traxxas body and you have a form to lay carbon fiber. ...

RE: CARBON FIBER RUSTLER BODY
Take a look at my photobucket,address is. In my signature.there's a mini Erevo out of carbon fiber in there. The rustler was 50 grams with the wing harware ,that added a few grams,but I'm sure its lighter then the traxxas body.the molds "ok" thel get better if I do more,there tricky.I'll take photos of the underside when I get home, ... No wraps,there real. Lol

Victory.. I've been following your baja cf work for some time now and I was impressed then.. now even more with the Rustler body.. Too bad I would damage it too quickly to justify it for myself, but for those who are calmer with their rides, it would be a nice trophy for sure... I do like the rear spoiler and would love to know if you can make one for rustler and possibly a T-maxx... I don't want to get into the headache of dealing with CF at home.... I've tried with some of my helicopter parts and its messy and cutting and sanding is dangerous if not done correctly...
