Are graphite parts more durable?

[Coastie]

Trying to decide between the Team and Factory Team T3. My primary concern is which parts are more durable, the standard composite or the graphite. I know graphite is stiffer and lighter, but how does it hold up. I will probably just be running it in the yard with my sons rustler, but I may race it if I can find an off road track around here. Thanks in advance for your help.

Graphite is a bit stronger but u shouldnt notice much of a difference. My XXX has all plastic parts. Just once u break the plastic parts replace them with graphite.

Get the factory team, not because it has grahite parts, to me I feel the titanium turnbuckles are more important. It won't bend as easy as the steel one. I have the B3 Team kit. I broke the front A-arms, then I changed both to graphite parts, I crashed the car again, it broke as easy as the original part. But for the front shock tower I do recommend you get the graphite part. It is much stronger than the original one. Overall I still feel the grahite parts are slightly stronger the black molded composite.

Hey LosiMan, does R&L have parts for associated cars??
