Haven't ordered one yet, but by what I have been told the difference between the carbon and alloy chassis is the carbon is more springy where the alloy absorbs more so the alloy maybe easier to drive but the carbon can be more reactive !!!!

I'm not sure of the technical terms but the alloy chassis seems to be more stuck to the track.

Has anybody tried the alloy chassis on low grip? Would of thought its just for high grip but i may be wrong?

carbon will flex much more and is lighter so essentially raising the CG therefore adding grip....

The opposite for the alum

But alloy will add more weight lower down, if adding weight high up works, why doesn't everyone stick lead/brass on the top deck instead of the chassis
