Carbon Fibre Sheet Supplier Wanted

Hi All,

One of my other hobbies is RC car racing.

I'm currently building a hybrid 1/8 truck and need to make a new carbon fibre chassis.

The carbon fibre needs to be 3 or 4 mm thick and roughly 20cm x 40cm. All the stuff I have found on the Bay is too small.

Is there anywhere that sells off-cuts or can supply carbon fibre sheet of this size?

The other issue is that ideally it needs to have a slight 'kick up' at one end.

Thanks for any help or advice.

Martin
