Default Carbon Fiber parts?
My son just built the Honcho Kit.
I run a CNC shop that cuts a bit of Carbon Fiber parts for RC Jets, so I had to make something...





The velcro mount for the body is nice, no holes.
The ESC is down low, to make room for the eventual Cherokee body and interior.
The other plate is for the LED Controller later.
No tellin' what's next.
Any ideas?

Gotta get my 30 posts to be able to get some real Crawler Zip Ties from the Classifieds....

Any ideas of what I could make next?

We talked about the BeadLocks, but the Carbon Weave won't really show up too well on them 'cause they are kinda small areawise.
I may cut one just to see. If it works out, you'll be the first to know...
Thanks for the input.

Wow, 2 votes for the beadlocks.
Should I copy them or improvise a bit?

I say make it your own! Find something you like and try it. You have a great start at a custom rig! Epically working with carbon fiber! If you make a set of front pieces let me know. I would love to buy a set! Great work bud, can't wait to see what's next!

PM your address and I'll send you a set, you were the first guy to reply to my first RCCrawler thread so I'll send you a set out middle of next week...
Want the circles cut in them or solid? I don't have permission to use the Axial logo or that would be kind of natural there...
Now this is startin' to get fun...

I say before you try to sell anything you get yourself a vendor star

Technically he doesnt need a vendor star if he is giving the first set to the first person that mentions it, but no worries i know Don and if it takes off he'll do it

btw im still working on the 'secret' dimenisions

Will do.
KK, I like those plates you make. When we get the Cherokee body all painted up and detailed, I gotta get one that matches his Full Size XJ..
