Carbon i think has had its day in offroad! IMO
There is no possible way you could know that, because there haven't been any carbon fiber chassis to compare the aluminum to. The defining difference in the two would be weight. These aren't 1/8th scale nitro buggies, so aluminum chassis are not that crucial—and aluminum CAN be tweaked.

Flex control would be something else that could be tuned with CF weaves, too.

But, boy, that carbon tub is damn sexy.
