I understand the purpose of going to aluminum but there's no denying that they are looking at it because awesomatix came out with it first. Anyways, like I said carbon fiber can be made a lot stiffer per square area than aluminum. I used to make my own chassis and shock towers for my Xray t1fk back in the foam tires on carpet days (ply by ply) . The only advantage on aluminum is cost (only if you don't bend one on a crash and replace it with a new one).
