yeah i noticed that on the box too, i got tired of waiting and bought a sheet of cf and cut my own, lol hey all abou fun, what would be included in a complete cf kit? heres some pics of my highly modified himoto syclone (tornado) 10th buggy, with the cf. i like cf it looks better than alumium and its a little more ridgid

COOL RIMS AND TIRES WHAT ARE THEY AND WILL THEY FIT VOLCANO STX SWEET

zack221

i think he said they where jato rims and yes they will fit volcano stx

ehroof

jato rims are 12mm hex and will fit the volcano, or any redcat vehicle. They have a good deep offset, those are the jato 2.8 rims with victory tires, only bad thing is that the victory tires wear down real fast, mine did on my jato before break in. I was using it onroad though.

AllAboutFunHobbies

WOW, that is super slick. Where did you get the CF sheets from? I didn't kow you could buy sheets of it.

thanks guys, yeah the jato wheels have the perfect offset, they work great, the cf sheets i bought from i guy on ebay, i forgot the link, but i wouldent recomend the guy anyway, i paid $70 for a 24 by like 13" sheet by 2.5mm and the guy lied about the ship date and when i got it it was warped and delaminating in a couple of places, so i only got about enough to make that plate, one other con was i had to cut it by hand with a dremal, i would not recomend doing this indoors its like insulation its bad stuff to cut, so do it outside, do i search for carbonfiber laminates or plates on ebay or google, they are a little expensive but they are usualy worth it cuz if u get a big enough peice u can make alot of stuff out of it.

AllAboutFunHobbies

Hey check this place out nitro, not bad prices for a few pieces big enough to carbon fiber the chassis, upper plate and shock mounts.

My Feedback: (2)

yeah iv seen them before il check the link tho

nitro_racer_1

My Feedback: (2)

well the prices look go but u have to consider the thickness thats really thin u need at least 2 or 3 mm for rc parts, thats where the money comes from

AllAboutFunHobbies

oh ya, I know, I ment to make the link for the main page, lol, sorry about that.

zack221

the stock a-arms are 3mm thick (i think thats what i measured its been two weeks ago) so once you start getting 3mm thick stuff it gets expensive.i was going to make a rollcage for my truck but i never got around to doing it.

nitro_racer_1

My Feedback: (2)

yeah its expensive but i think its worth it. like i said i have a sheet of 2.5mm by 19 by like 13 if anybody is interested, it would be alot cheaper
