U read correctly and they are stronger than alloy



We're beginning to think the guys at Vantage Racing eat woven carbon fiber for lunch. First the introduced woven carbon fiber exhaust systems, then a complex Revo chassis, and now they're getting into the suspension and roll cage business. Forget molded graphite arms - Vantage in making woven carbon fiber suspension arms and a roll cage for the HPI Savage truck. The new arms are sure to be lighter than any aftermarket aluminum arm. The roll cage is also made for the Savage featuring the same woven carbon fiber. Before you think that this isn't going to be as strong as aluminum, check out the picture of the guy standing on the truck. This is preliminary information provided to us by Vantage Racing, but like the Revo chassis, these components are expected to be available during the RCX Show in late May.

why!!! if your racing you dont have a full cage like that. and if your a basher you just get an alloy one... lol

also, those lower arms arent as good as they say they are... very hard to run buggy shocks with them, they snap way too easily.. although if i was making a shelf queen then i'd go all carbon :p
:-P

1) putting carbon arms on a basher is just suicide. and vantage parts aint cheap!
2) the vantage lower arms are lard. a mate of mine had 3 sets and broke one on every run out at the track. not good!
3) its a lot of money for a part that isnt any stronger. only lighter, and more brittle :shock: you will be better off with some alloy ones.
