why not? carbon fibre is stupid on a monster truck, not to mention its made for nitro, and you would have to mod it to work with electric, then finally it costs over 5x as much. Plennya reasons :P

Yea but like he said he is a hardcore basher and wants something that will hold up to the punishment. We have seen a few people use the carbon fiber stuff on an MT project, and they have ended up braking the rig in half due to a big air jump. Carbon fiber is great for really lite weight applications, but when you put any serious weight to it you end up with a shattered build. It is an expensive risky investment, when there are better materials for what he is trying to do.

If you look for a stock revo chassis PM me up. Got a couple of new 2.5 and 3.3 chassis lyin around. Wouldn't mind passin them on P-I-F style.

My reason for not using the Vantage is that with using the 3906 EMaxx tranny, I have to do a bunch of grinding on the driveshaft "tunnel" area - and that will be more detrimental to the CF strength (compared to AL), and much more detrimental to my resperitory system!
