I'd be interested inany other carbon chassis builders. I've dabbled with CF lay ups back in school and it's super easy to do. I'm considering doing a light weight xm hood that would be in the $450 range.

C3 powersports makes a very nice cf chassis, but they are getting very pricey, and I agree with you, it would be nice to have some competition in this field, especially on this side of the border. Patrickcustomcarbon.com (815-721-5151) makes a lot of carbon parts for sleds, but so far, no cf xm chassis. I think if enough people would contact him and express their desire to have one made, he just might do it.

well, considering, the xp and xm use the same chassis, besides the running board hoops, im figuring you could use one of those.
again, cost is kinda harsh, but hey, this sport isnt free. the molds to make a chassis for super low production runs cost a lot of money, hell, its probably like $1k in raw materials as well for a full chassis. good epoxy and carbon is expensive!

Try Patrick. I saw Rob Kincaid's sled at the Edmonton show and it was a full carbon proclimb. Patrick's carbon work makes C3's look amateur.
I'd love to see Patrick making more stuff for the doos. After myself and a few others buying stuff from C3, I'm far from impressed with pricing and his information... it's a sh**show buying from him. Had a customer we ordered for last week and after ordering he tells us we need to spend double the money to get what we need, after having told another customer the exact opposite just a week before... completely unacceptable way to do business.
Patrick seems to have his act together, produces QUALITY stuff, and has good solid info before you order.
More options is a beautiful thing!

X2 I've had the same results from c3 and great results from PCC. I'm certain if you talk to TJ, he will build some carbon parts for the XM, but I don't see him building a complete chassis like c3 does.

I had a full carbon Summit 1000 which was very similar in quality to C3's but built just up the road in Revelstoke. I would not own another carbon sled. Too much to worry about compared to aluminum.
