Replacing The Dreaded Plastic G11 With Carbon Fiber on My VQS!

Mine didn't break yet, but I made a replacement anyway!
Get the 2mm carbon sheet here!

Great job. This should improve the strength of the chassis beside looking cool

Thanks! It's handles hard tumbles that I'm sure would break the old g11!

Nice home brewed part! Sometimes a dremel and some patience can fix a lot of things! I have made a few small things with carbon fiber sheet and it is some tough stuff but machines pretty well!

[@rcinhand9671]

Thanks! Especially when no one was making any carbon G11s at the time (I'm not sure about now). Oh, it takes a lot of patience!

Tamiya really needs to sell a carbon fiber part. The G11 is a well known weak point on the Vanquish/VQS. RcEvoLogic used to make an aluminum part, but I don’t think they make it any more.

[@rcinhand9671]

I wish they would. Until then, it's easy enough to make one, though.

Nice. Carbon fiber is the way to go. Light & strong. I think it will last the life of the buggy 👍

[@rcinhand9671]

Thanks! I hope it'll last the life of the buggy. If not, I know how to make another!
