Default Slash carbon fiber Tie-Bar

I was doing a work on my slash the other day when I noticed the stock tie bar was broke. So I talked to a buddy of mine and got a piece of carbon fiber from him and made a new one. Even though you can't see it that good. I think it look a lot nicer.

Maybe from mcmastercarr.com. I don't know where you can get it. I got it from a friend of mine.

I wasn't planing on producing them but I seem to be getting a lot of good feed back from a few sites and have had a few people ask if I could make them one. Just want to know if it would be worth my time to make a bunch to sell or not.

i would think you could make out on the deal if you made and sold em. How long does it take to make one? I know I'd buy one for sure just for the shear fact of that I don't have to go looking for and buy the carbon fiber and do it myself lol. So if I were you i would def look into it. Just my $0.02.
