Has anyone ever used Xtreme racing corbon fiber parts? Did they hold up?

I'm considering getting the front and rear tie bars but I'm unsure how'll they'll hold up.

I haven't used them but from what I know of metals and materials carbon fiber is not going to take the beating that titanium, aluminum, or even regular stock plastic arms if memory serves me correctly. They might look cool but they will crack under a severe landing or pressure. If you are going to upgrade a arms try and find titanium. It's lighter than aluminum and stronger! Otherwise, I would stay stock plastic unless you are going for a show car or onroad only! That's my opinion.

The only thing that I would consider getting made out of carbon fiber is a chassis for the Revo, other than that I wouldn't touch carbon fiber except for a rear wing made from carbon fiber. You got to love titanium, but not the price of it!

The arms are RPM.

Specifically here's what I was looking at: http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...oducts_id/8725

I don't see a problem here, I meant I wouldn't get carbon fiber a-arms or anything suspension, high impact areas parts consisting of carbon fiber. Now for my 1.2 pound 11.1V lithium powered Custom Duratrax Vendetta with carbon fiber shock towers, drag link oh yeah.
