Carbon FIber Mag bodie

[Puddin']

Flanders will you PLEASE learn how to type. I couldn't understand half of your post.

[flanders]

i do know ho to type, it's just not in english, i know how to type flanderneise

but ill work on it

basicly what i said was carbon fiver is a weaker substance then like lexan, mainly because it's made of smaller parts right, so it can pretty much fracture alon the fiber lines

To translate what flanders is saying, carbon fiber, by it's nature, is not suited to small scale, highly complex objects such as a mag body. At that scale, you might as well make one out of paper mache(sp?), the process isn't that much different. It can't be molded and milled and fitted, like aluminum and lexan can. Carbon fiber is best used in applications where it has the dimensions and shape to properly exhibit it's strength, such as in aircraft and racecar body and frame parts. I'd love to see a lexan Xmag body though!

wow lexan, it could be colored and see thru, nice

if you are going to have your friend make a carbon fiber body for an automag, i think you should put in a satinless steel insert for where the body rests, partially because of the cracking problem an partially because the body would last much longer. steel on carbon fibre is bad! mucho bad.

If this works out tell your friend that hes got a customer for another one!
