Default The net TGN Carbon Fiber Micro-T Bumper

After bashing around are large scale gas cars, TGN had decided to see what we can do to our shop Micro-T. Our first product is this new Carbon Fiber Baja style bumper.

[link=http://www.teamgonads.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=5700&Category_Code=microt&Product_Count=0]Check it out, click here.[/link]

Please let us know what you think. If you like it, and we get good feedback we plan to do more parts for this little truck.

Thanks for looking.

You can bend cf by using a hot iron type thing or heating it like you would to bend steel tubing but just not as hot.

You can bend it to a certain point but sooner or later it will snap, that is one advantage over alloy once alloy bends it's no good anymore... if you band it back your loosing a lot of strength.
