This is an optional LaTrax Carbon Fiber Conversion Kit, intended for use with the LaTrax 1/18 Rally Car. This kit includes the carbon fiber chassis, upper chassis, battery hold down, adhesive foam tape and hardware. 

Carbon fiber provides many benefits over composite material in r/c applications. Typically, the material is used to provide a stiff and rigid platform but is also used to reduce weight and enhance looks. Carbon fiber also excels in hot weather conditions as it maintains its stiffness. Likewise, composite material typically experiences an increase in flexibility in hot weather conditions which results in a decrease in suspension performance.
