Re: pic: Carbon fiber monocoque drivetrain Top view

This is how I've personally done a few of our parts, it uses really only 4 +-2 layers of carbon fiber and is much easier to shape your parts. We just get the desired shape we want and make it out of foam core, plan around hole placement and how much carbon fiber needs to be in the pockets, and then lay the carbon fiber. I'm not sure how it would work on a frame of your size, but it can help with rigidity and cut costs.
