Carbon fiber body kit for Slate Truck

[bweber22]

Hey all, I reached out to slate about possibly collaborating on manufacturing a carbon fiber body kit for the slate truck! Hopefully the great people at slate agree to supply me with body panels (that i will return) to make a full carbon fiber slate truck!

whether they agree to collaborate or not i will still be making them when i get my personal slate and will likely sell body panels if anyone would be interested haha.

Some of you may ask why?
Lighter slate- longer range
Full carbon would be gorgeous
Could fit some peoples idea for a small RWD drift truck!

Not a bad idea but I wonder just how heavy the original panels will be I could see the hood being significantly lighter but the smaller sides I’d see minimal gains but if we are min-maxing every wight lose counts I’d prefer colored panels instead of a wrap personally but I like the carbon fiber as well I hope they do get back to you

Same, the plastic panels aren't structural, the structure is steel underneath, so I doubt much weight difference to be had.
