    How to make carbon shock towers stronger?

    Selling partially finished parts may be a good idea. I dunno. It works for "take and bake" pizza shops. But I really wouldn't like to have kevlar dust in my RC room from sanding their burrs off. That's just me though 😉

"Due to the extreme nature and the difficulty cutting Kevlar some cosmetic minor frays may be in the screw holes or complex edges. it is recommended to seal all edges with CA glue and sand off any remaining kevlar strands if any." I machined Kevlar, and...

    Don't you have a 3d printer? You could try 3d printing something that will transfer the impact to the center of the shock tower. Or stop crashing 🤪
