Actually, I've run ALL of them, from the original steel ones, to aluminum ones(by IRS & Robinson Racing) & to the composite ones today. Granted, there is a bit more risk of breaking the composite ones, if you run stock or 19 turn I don't think the risk is that bad(& I have also run 10 turn motors with them, they seemed to hold up quite well), & I think the composites are the lightest you can get(& reducing rotational mass is always a good thing). One thing that I think also helps if you use the cpmposites, is getting some Pin Cushions for your CVD's(IRS sells them to add to your existing CVD's & ones that are preinstalled on composite CVD bones, which I like, very convenient)....
