Thread: HDPE vs UHMWPE

    HDPE is the cheaper material in the UK hence why it's the plastic of choice. It's also the easier to work with, i just use a hand saw and a straight edge to cut mine and it can get it fairly accurate. Tidy it up with some filing and you're good to go.

    When looking at UHMWPE I was told to look at RG1000 by direct plastics - it's the recycled version and is more reasonable in price

    I believe Red Devil from Battlebots uses UHMWPE chain guides for its tracks. I assume the slipperiness helps greatly there, considering you want as little rolling resistance as possible.
