Project : Mugen MBX6-T Racer

[wallot]

It is not about protection. carbon is very fragile and just breaks. aluminum will just bend allowing you to finish the race. I snapped rear 5mm carbon tower on my buggy and it was not from a cartwheel. buggy just landed flat on the chassis and the tower just split in half around bulkhead screw holes.

I am not big fan of CF on critical areas of any car and I want new mugen be as bulletproof as my old MBX5-T. I never broke a single part on it (not counting being hit by a 40mph truggy from a side after making a mistake and just stopping in the middle of the track - and i broke just both left arms and bent a cvd a bit)
