Just a quick question for you all, how strong is carbon fibre? I am assuming that as many premium kits choose to use it ahead of aluminium or plastic then it must be fairly good but just wanted the opinions of those who have raced with CF car kits.

My reason for asking is that last night I started screwing everything to my B44.1 chassis and installed the front / rear shock towers. I was surprised at how it felt in the hand, almost like I was working with glass. The front shock tower in particular is fairly thin and incredibly light. It just gives me the impression that it wont take much breaking, but Im guessing if this was the case they wouldnt use it!

So how does CF compare to Alu and Plastic??
