has anyone tried this before? that is, making their own grips out of lexan? does anyone have any experience with cutting/trimming lexan? ive been wanting to do this for a while, but i never got to it because ive been too lazy to buy more attachments for my dremel.....

Ive seena ton of people make grips from lexan. Its a pretty simple and straight forward thing to do really.

Atach has a few. Should be durable enough to try.

FYI , wouldn't use a dremel.

Your just going to make a melted re-welded mess. You need to cut it at slow speed preferably using some kind of lubricant.

lol oh yea i forgot its plastic. :tard: what tools did you use to round off the edges? i was told i could use woodworking tools. the only experience ive had with lexan is with r/c bodies so any help would be great

You can cut it with pretty much anything. Those on the Phantom are actually faceted around the edges. I cut them out on the mill.

After you cut them how you want to , just sand the cuts smooth working your way up to say 5-600 grit sand paper and finish it off with polishing compound. Clear coat car scratch remover and a thick soft cloth rag will work well too.
