Nothing says high tech on an RC car better than woven graphite, otherwise known as carbon fiber.  For those of you who are working with a woven graphite component, there is one thing you have to remember, you must prepare it.  By that we mean that extra care must be taken before you simply bolt it on to your car.  By using these simple steps, your new investment will be sure to last longer and help maintain its high tech looks.
STEP 1 - GATHER YOUR MATERIALS Do do this, you will need some sand paper or sanding sticks, some thin CA (Cyanoacrylate) or super glue, Q-Tips, and paper towels.
STEP 2 - SAND THE EDGES Using either the sand paper or sanding sticks, which ever you prefer, sand across the entire grain of the chassis all the way around to lightly round off the sharp corners of the component.  I also like to make sure and get the inside cutouts as well if there are any.
STEP 3 - WIPE EDGES Wipe the edges where you have sanded with a paper towel.  This gets rid of the sanding dust that was created and gives the glue a cleaner area to bond to.
STEP 4 - GLUE Take your CA and lightly soak the end of the Q-Tip.  You don't want it dripping wet but soaked with enough glue for it to transfer easily.  Lightly drag the end of the Q-Tip across the side of the component and you will see the glue transfer.  As you work your away around the component you will notice that the end of the Q-Tip harden from the glue.  When it does, it will no longer conform to the piece you are working with.  That's when it is time to change to a new one.  Repeat that process until you are finished with your components.  Don't forget to glue the inside of the component as well.  I also like to put glue where countersinks have been drilled.  Simply push the Q-Tip into it but be careful not to forcefully push.  You only want the glue to transfer.
It is somewhat time consuming but by taking these steps, you will help extend the life of your costly investment.
