I have a Mugen ST and i found both lightweight aluminum and carbon fiber top plate and chassis. Just wondering which would be better. For the top plate i would prefer the CF, but the chassis plate is what im mostly concerned about. Would the CF chassis flex and possibly break too easily.

i honestly dought it...carbon fiber is pretty tough, i have taken my nitro sport and replaced almost the whole thing in carbon fiber and since i have done that not one thing has broke and i tend to take it to the limit later

My Feedback: (3)

Carbon is the way to go!! they have made some pretty cool stuff w/ it lately and im impressed w/ it. they have Vantage carbon fiber pipes that work well also. i used 1 on my 8th scale and it worked great. they back up their products like no other in the bizz

Well, carbon fiber is definitely light and the way to go, but it WILL break if stressed...where aluminum will just bend. So, if you are a racer or bash hard I would be cautious about replacing some components with CF. The main chassis is always better in aluminum - it helps remove heat from the engine and it much stronger - plus it is so low on the car that it could actually raise the center of gravity - not good for handling. Otherwise, go for it, as the only other parts that might break are shock towers - i've broken front and rears several times on my rc10GT and would never go CF there on my 1/8th buggy.
