Derby Freak Racing Razors

[derby freak]

This is a picture of my first set of razors. Maybe not too shabby for someone who has never even saw a lathe in real life until now. I stil have a little sanding and buffing to do I post pictures of the finished product.

Polycarbonate is not plexiglass. Polycarbonate is another name for Lexan. Plexi-glass is Acrylic and is currently what I machine all my wheels from. The white wheels you have on your unlimited right now are from white plexiglass. I made some wheels out of Polycarbonate one time but they felt soft to me so I never even put them on a car. Who knows, maybe they would be very fast but just didn't feel right to me.
