RE: vantage CF ext chassis
I seriously like the look and the weight reduction of the carbon fiber compare to the aluminum. I finnaly saved enough to get one for X-mas but now I don't know. I already have the qoncepts chassis brace and now vantage has a new aluminum chassis brace.
I maybe con fused but why would I now replace my aliminum chassis with a carbon fiber chassis that needs aluminum brace would I still be saving weight?????

RE: vantage CF ext chassis
I own it and mine has held up to some really bad crashes (trying to clear this long tripple jump[>:] ) MUCH lighter than the stocker too .
Its all up to the owner , its great place to shave some weight , and it looks KILLER ! Vantage makes the best CF parts in the industry IMO .
Their parts are not like the CF you get in the sheets , its got a really hard resin coating thats pretty tough and doesnt scratch easily .

RE: vantage CF ext chassis
The brace adss 2 oz. to the carbon chassis. (read hardly anything at all)
I love mine, (don't have the brace, because it came out after I ordered my chassis.)
It's not to fix any defect in the original chassis just for added crash insurance in the underside area. You'll notice it doesn't attach to any of the weak areas.
I've had no problems with mine so far and I have nasty offchamber hits /crashes all the time.
I like carbon fiber too much also so the money had to be spent.
there are other chassis in carbon besdies the vantage one as well. Can't remember what they are off thetop of my head but run through [link=http://www.rccna.com]rccna.com[/link] and you'll find em. I think there are two ther ones. One of 'em is DEF an improvement over the vantage frame.
