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.
