Has anyone created a Carbon Slider Tracks (Voile-style)? If so:

1) How did you make the carbon slider tracks?
2) How much do they weigh?
3) Have the Carbon Slider Tracks held up to splitboarding and your expectations?
4)What is your long-term use report?

I found a picture of a pair of carbon slider tracks in an old post by SB.com member Burton:

Hi Powder_Rider,

Could you keep me in the loop on any info you find out? Would be very interested in any weight advantage of these.

Cheers!

today on this sliderplates are hardboot binder mounted. the slider works over 5 years without a problem.
the pressing mould is very simpel.

about 60-70g lighter than regular voile plate

80-90g lighter than the new Spark base plate

some good weight savings

And the potential to be stiffer as well. Or, one could mold up a carbon slider with a slightly wider profile to gain stiffness, but equal the weight of the Voile slider. If I had any $ right now I would be considering making up some of these...
