That's an area of testing that the big companies (yokomo, xray, tamiya, HB) have tested and invested in.

That's probably the prominent design that will give each car it's own characteristic for handling.
Funny you say that because 3 of those companies get their graphite from the same place...and its in the US too. I dont know about the 4th. But there are not a ton of companies that make quality CF and can make it the same every time.
