Decided I wanted to make some Carbon Fibre parts for my RC. Looked around CZcams for ages then BLAM!! This dude Brian pops up. Give him a watch and so glad I did. Dude you have answered my prayers. I hereby dub you Brian the Brain. Thank you from one happy brit!!!! 👍
I hate that I missed this amazing comment. Please forgive me and CZcams "who I blame" for not getting back to you sooner.!! This is the type of comment that makes my year. I thank you many times.!!! 🙏😊
Great work Brian so much fun ro make your own parts 👍😀
I have always wanted to do this.! I am super happy with how it has turned out. Many thanks my friend.!
I hate to be that guy but it needs to be said... always, always, always wear a respirator when cutting/sanding carbon fiber. Otherwise great video! You got a new subscriber.
I really appreciate your great and helpful comment.!! Normally I would use my respirator when cutting and sanding carbon fiber. However I always overdo things on safety. I was afraid that a respirator maybe a little over the top and I did not want to scare anybody off of completing this project. So I promoted a vented mask which everybody has laying around the house right now. I have been a wood worker for about 25 years now Working with most solid surfaces. Carbon fiber is something I stumbled upon a few years back. So I am relatively new to the carbon fiber game. My question is this, respirator is mandatory? Reason why I ask is there are several people that Follow along with my builds and some do replicate and I would hate to lead people down and unsafe route. I figured that a standard particle mask would be fine.If I'm wrong please let me know. And thank you again for the great and helpful comment.
So right , slap right on the Rist Brian 😖 lol 😆
Very good explanations and above all excellent work, the result is great. Nice video !!
Many thanks my good friend.!! I am ready to assemble this great truck..! I am super happy with its quality so far. More soon, thanks again Pascal.
@@AMAZINGRC 😊👍
I always have a good tips from you.😊
Many many thanks my good friend.!! 😊
Thanks Brian , great tutorial.
I got you bro..!!👍👍👍
That was very well done Brian, top stuff buddy
Hey thanks a lot, Tibor.! I am really gonna give this one the top shelf treatment.!!
What a great informative video. Amazing ideas bro 👍👍👌👌. Definitely going to try this method
Wow that looks insane. Awesome job as usual man
Many many thanks my friend..!!
That is a cool idea 💡,thank you for sharing,can't wait to see the build💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯👍👍
I am super jacked at how things are coming out so far.!! Now I can start Assembling everything. Really appreciate your support. Much more coming soon.!!
Keep up the great work!
Really appreciate that great comment my friend.!!
They came out excellent. Nice job.
I'm so happy with it so far.!! I wish i had more time to work on it. I am pushing for at least one video a week. Next up will be either assembly (if my metal parts arrive) or Flex Seal-ing some of the body. More soon.!😎
Very nice done, cool vide my friend,, i like it 👊😉👍#29 to drill for the holes, but you say of the two metal plates at the top and the two carbon plates at the bottom, but in your vide I see that you have the carbon plates between your metal plates when you drill 😜 8:22
Good catch Xavier..!!! I did in fact use the original "sandwich" idea when drilling the carbon. Good news is that both ways will work. But I thank you for really paying attention to my videos. That makes me super happy.!! Many thanks my friend.!!
@@AMAZINGRC you are great at your job my friend and i always watch you from start to finish, you are a amazing thank you again for sharing with us my good friend, Respect 👊😜✌
Very cool video and great Tips, you done a awesome Job Brian, sorry for missing your other vid , ill catch up 👍 really enjoyed this How to Video, your a Legend Brain. 👍😎😁👍🇬🇧🇺🇲👍
😊 Oh my..!! Extremely kind words my friend. I really appreciate that.!!
@@AMAZINGRC your welcome bro 👍🥰👍😎👍
Awesome video !
Many many thanks my friend for the great comment.!!
Yes sir that IS an Amazing Rc. Nice work Bud. Great Idea using the other rails as a drill jig. and I agree leaving those little radius corners adds to the rigity. Thanks for sharing Brian. Thumb's up .. :P
Hey I really appreciate this great comment my brother.!! I have big plans for this little number, more soon... Love your channel.!
Looks great, cant wait to see more
Hey thanks.!! I am very excited to get started on Assembly..!
Great cuts! Looks like a plasma cutter.
Once I sandwiched the carbon fiber I was hitting nothing but grand slams..!! Originally I thought that these were going to take me several hours to make. Using the metal chassis rails as a Jig instead of a pattern, Cut my time in half. I am very happy with the outcome. Many thanks for your wonderful support, Gary..!!!
👍Nice work it looks great! You ever go around the edges with a thin coat of CA glue to seal in the edges and protect them more...little trick we RC guy's do with fiberglass and carbon fiber parts.👍
Huh... you don't say.... i have never heard of that CA glue trick before. Very cool, must try it.!! Thanks bro.!
@@AMAZINGRC yea it seals it in and helps it so it don't slinter as much or as easy.
Great upgrade 👌
Many thanks Isaac.!!
Awesome Brian! Those frame rails are amazing! Well done brother! 👍🍻 time to start making more and sell them dude!? Maybe when the build is done, do a contest giveaway with all the parts you make from carbon fibre for that rig? So someone else can do their own “amazing-carbon” build?🍻👌👍🤘
I am loving everything you are talking about in this comment..!!! I did go into this with the thought of possibly selling or giving away a few sets of these. Only took me about 2 hours to create and that was while attempting to film everything. So I can probably knock are set out in about an hour if I tried hard enough. 3 sets out of a sheet so I could probably let them go pretty cheap. And it wouldn't hurt to give a set or 2 away. The C34 is still a relevant truck so I am totally on page 10 of your book my friend..!! Many thanks..!!
Awesome man, you know how to make COOL RC rig.
This one is going to be really cool when it's down. Super jacked at how the chassis came out. And in about half the time as I originally thought. Thanks for the support my brother.!! I have not had a chance to check out your latest video yet but I know it's there so I will get to it once I have time to watch the full thing.😎
@@AMAZINGRC I have a new video of nitro Slayer and stripped plastic gears in stock servo. Haha.
Very informative, helpful knowledge
Thank you for sharing this.
I like this channel, Subscribed
Hey really appreciate that great comment and subscription my friend.!! Many thanks.!!
@@AMAZINGRC Sir,believe me its my pleasure.
When I put my video up,some many Creative RC Inspirers have to be Thanked. And you're at top 5,and there's 20 to be mentioned.
Probably after the New Year, I'll show you what you inspired me to do.
Many Thanks Friend 👋
@@KanYahAryEl that would be an honor my friend.! Please keep me posted.!
Great work.
Many thanks my brother.!!
Nice frame rails bro👍
Many thanks brother..!!
Is carbon fiber,, safe to cut on. I really don't know,,
Your tooling jig , out for wood ,,.
Is the nice,, Great fab work!! .
💯👊,, ENJOYED it..
Hey thanks a lot my brother.!! As far safety... i wear a particle mask when i cut and sand carbon fiber. However, i have been told as of recent that it is probably good to wear a respirator. And i personally will from here on. I also wear gloves because you can get a pretty nasty sliver until you sand the edges.😎
Awesome Brian!! I could also use this for Shock Towers, Servo Mounts and a bunch of other stuff!! Thanks!! 😊💯

Love this stuff..! I work with it all the time. More to come.! Thanks Car.!!
Hi, So interesting I am looking for a Kyosho DRX chassis for the electric version DRX.. I wonder if you could be having any or make.
Hello and thank you for stopping by my channel.!! I am flattered that you ask me to make this chassis.!! I think that if I had enough time I could do this. However, I do not have any extra time right now. I will try to help you find this chassis. I did look at the DRX vehicles but I am getting a little confused. To me, it looks like there are several versions of this car. Please send me the model number to the car that you want this chassis to come from. I will try to find one for you... thanks again for your great comment and questions
Excellent Brian! Very well explained and top results. What is the weight difference between the metal and carbon fiber chassis? Also, I see you use a vacuum cleaner to suck all the carbon dust 👍 It's worth mentioning that this dust is a health hazard from what I read.
Many thanks my brother.! And yes, I was using my vacuum. The dust is pretty bad for you. I was using a particle mask up until recent. Now I am switching to a respirator. I also use gloves until I sand the edges. I will get a weight difference when I get back to the house. I cant believe that i did not include it in the video. I will be adding both items in the description section of this video for others that want to know. Thanks again my brother.!
@@AMAZINGRC Excellent! Since I saw your video, I'm considering which parts in my RCs I'd like to convert to carbon :-D
@@RCscale101 anything that's flat..!!! Thats my motto.! LOL
@@AMAZINGRC Haha yes! But a genuine question: would CF make a good chassis for a basher/buggy rc car or not? Does it resist well to impact of stones and jumps? What do you think?
@@RCscale101 to be honest, I really don't know. I have never tested. I can say this though... 1. I have a ton of carbon fiber on my Komodo including a pair of large rock slides. They are 3mm thick and aside of a few scratches, they are still in exceptional condition. And they have seen some serious action. 2. It all comes down to thickness. These chassis rails are only 1.5mm thick and do flex a tiny bit. However, once I get a few things installed I am assuming that things will stiffen up a bit. I personally love the stuff.!!
Hi Brian hope your ok Bro because its not like you not to but a vid up for 3 weeks so am worried that I've not seen my Buddy 😔 hope your ok Brother 🙏😍😎😍🙏
I'm ok my brother.!! My computer pretty much died on me and I am waiting on my new snazzy Apple number to arrive at the end of this week. I really appreciate u reaching out and checking up on me. That really means a lot..!!! I will get something up very soon to explain more about it, even if I have to use my phone to shoot it. Thanks again my brother..!!😊
Hey Brian is everything okay,I haven't seen a recent video from you,hope all is good with you👍👍💯💯
I was Really hoping to get a video Uploaded much sooner than this... my computer died about 4 weeks ago and I have tried a couple times to make a video with my phone to no Avail. And I have many new things to share on CZcams. The good news is that my new computer arrives TODAY..!!!
I would like to take this time to personally thank you for caring enough to contact me. Really appreciate that.!! that means a lot to me. I will have a video of very very soon my friend..!! Thanks again.
@@AMAZINGRC you are welcome,stay safe and i will b looking for your videos👍👍👊👊💪💪
Hey Brian, I recently purchased a Feiyue FY01 from Banggood and was wondering if you could recommend some brushless upgrades. I see they sell a kit right on their site but is there another alternative that is somewhat in the same price range?
Awesome videos man, you've got my sub!
First off. Many thanks for the kind words and subscription. Greatly appreciated. As for your question... I will have to get back to you in a bit on this one. I want to take a look at everything before I give you an answer. Right now I am at work spraying 1:1 size RVs....LOL. but I will hit you back by this time tomorrow. 😎👍🏎
@@AMAZINGRC Thanks a ton for the reply, so glad I came across your channel. Man I luv your enthusiasm! BG has a great website with tons of sweet products, I'm still waiting on a couple orders for my FY01. Can't believe some of their prices, I scooped up some regular LED lights for a few bucks each but am going to grab a few sets of the Blue Halos for my FY and for my daughters Redcat Gen7 Pro which she's getting for Xmas.
I'm just jumping into the RC hobby myself, guys like you make it so great with all the info and videos.
BTW all the carbon fiber works is badazz! I'd luv to start doing some myself when I get a little more knowledgeable on the fundamentals first.
Thanks again man!!
@@1Axis ok, so I have bee surfing for what seems to be hours now. I could not find a brushless setup on Banggood.com. 😩 if you can send me a link, I will take a look at it for sure. I did find something I bet is real close to what you are looking at on BG. I couldn't copy the link on Amazon for some reason so you will have to copy and past the caption below and search it in your Google search bar. It will take you to a brushless 390 setup that I am talking about. Hit me with a link to the BG site if you get the chance. If its a good setup I would rather you get it there so I can get the commission...😉

Hey Brian, thanks again for all the help with the parts. Here's the link for the kit I found on BG.
Although it doesn't say it fits the FY01 in the title, it does include the 01 in the description.
The only reasons I'm not just jumping on this right away is I really don't need the receiver as I'm looking into a dumboRC radio, and I'd also like a servo with a little more turning power than the one that comes in the new kit.
Thanks again for all your help!

Did you add glue to the edges of carbon materials? It helps to keep it together as the fibres can start coming off. Don't forget to use a mask at least, those carbon fibre particles are horrible for your health
1st of all, thank you very much for your warning about the respirator. I do wear a mask when I work with carbon fiber. I did not know however about the glue. I will try that the next time I work with this material. Thank you many times for that great idea..!!!
@@AMAZINGRC just to clarify, i meant to say CA Glue. I’ve got the tip from the XRAY XB4 manual, page 5 of the 2020/2021 edition
@@DavidslvPT very cool.! I will do exactly that. I work with Carbon Fiber all the time, so I will get the chance very soon. 👍 I love to learn new stuff.! Totally my jam.!
