Anyone know of a good company that can produce Carbon fibre parts to my specification?, i have an item that i want turning into CF and i know if i can do that i can sell it over quite a few times.
Oooo, what is it?
i used Hansell Compsites / Fibre lyte the quality of there stuff was second to none in my opinion. was never
the cheapest with moulding but i alwasy got 10 made of whatever and always sold them (always paid for mine too)

I have a good idea of something as well.
Just trying to see how it can be done.
Anyone know hardwaring is carbon fibre if it is not made into a panel? I mean, can you leave it as a cloth so you can bend a corner os something?
Cheers mike, i'll see what they say.
The part itself is for my XRay 808 nitro buggy, I want some parts making in CF to save weight and be of better design that the original.
If i get it right i'm pretty damn sure that a lot of buggy racers would be interested.
Well thats handy, they already do lots of model car stuff
Remember there are different types of CF.
Hand lay up will give you the look of CF with similar strength and weight as fibreglass. You could do this yourself in your shed.
Engineered CF using pre-preg and autoclaves is when you get high strength, light weight composites. Thats what 'real' carbon fibre is and
thats what costs a lot of money and thats why most people think.... 'carbon is strong, carbon is expensive'.
