So all around more durable and it still saves weight . CNC aluminum towers haven't been designed for the SCT410.3/EB48SL since the CF towers are holding up so well. FYI.
This is great news!

My wife managed to break a rear CF tower on the old truck, but it held up much better and longer than the normal metal rear, which often bent on the huge jump courses. With this change to the thicker CF and no milling, it should be practically bullet proof!
