Hi,
Anyone has used a carbon fiber truck? Found this in Alibaba
https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Carbon-fiber-truck-with-motor-mounting_60540430971.html
I have a couple of questions as well
- Why does the cut uneven on the right side where the motor will be mounted?
- will it be dangerous since carbon fiber is brittle? (or is CF really brittle?)
I think… the people on alibaba who listed it meant carbon mount. This truck does not look like carbon to me and nobody is dumb enough to make a carbon product and then paint it black - carbon looks too cool!
Well based on the pictures from the website, they are 2 completely different trucks. One of which looks like faux carbon fiber and the other, metal painted black. I would be careful buying things from alibaba, unless a few people have verified the seller. And this part is sketching me out lol
(Hanger material: Carbon fiber + steel axel
Surface: Painting to black glossy or 3k twill surface)
@anorak234 Is right, carbon fiber looks cool. There is no reason to paint over it. Looks like normal metal to me…
I think it’s just bad wording on the site.
The motor mount itself is carbon fibre, the truck is steel either painted black or with an aesthetic carbon fibre overlay.
