Front Tie Brace Carbon Fiber

[Sprint 77]

Here is a model of the new Front Brace I am thinking of having cnc cut out of Carbon Fiber depending on the quatities and pricing.

Here is more of a side view with the brace.

looks good it almost looks like the one i have

This will tie the center diff and the front diff to help massively on chassis flex.


I think I can also come up with another one to go up to the body mount area of the tower for even more stress transfer.

The question is now is how marketable is this piece. Being I have to decide wether to get 10 cut or 20 cut .

the body mount one will be great for support if you come up with one i wanna see it

Id be interested if the price was right. How about one for the rear?

I would be interested as well, but will it replace the other aluminum bracing or go over the top of them ?

I think it would go over the top of the aluminum.


The price for the small runs the Redcat owner group market would bring . Make them run around $85-90 range.

Is that estimate for front and rear braces?

Is that estimate for front and rear braces?

That is the price I got for a carbon fiber cnc router cut from my design file as seen in the 3 D model I designed.


The numbers I think are to small in quantity to get a better price at this time. The rampage group is to small to put out getting the 50 or more cut to get a good price.
