Anyhow, i think that the spareparts will be available from G-maxx

The CF still has got the aluminium frame where it gets his strength from.

I personally like the looks of the CF (imo), especially when combined with a nice mixture of aluminum parts.
The CF is stiffer, not necesarily stronger. Strength comparison would depend on the test (shear strength vs. compression etc.). Either one is very strong. I have been running both (different trucks) for quite some time and have never had a failure (taken a few hits along the way as well!).
