yes, but if you have quality carbon fiber you would be very hard pressed to ever "snap" it or crack it. and at 3mm it has just the right amount of flex so it is less likely to break. 3mm real carbon is extremely tough to crack or break. you would need to hit a brick wall at 50mph in a 10lb MT to "snap" it.

crappy quality carbon on the other hand is totally unpredictable and will snap and splinter without warning.

i am sure the carbon for the traxxas stuff is quality carbon.
