While browsing the bay yesterday I came across a graphite rc10 tub, the guy said it was a fusion, does anyone know anything about these? Do they handle well?

Look closely at those pictures. The chassis is broken around some of the screw holes.

If you do a quick search in the RC10 section you'll turn plenty of info up on these chassis, there are a number of Fusion tub cars amongst our members

They are cool to look at, but thats about it. They wear out, they are fragile, and don't handle as well as the aluminum tubs. -Jeff

Check out my thread for details of the fibrelyte tub.
Mine is very thick, super light, and rediculously strong. Being carbon, and not graphite, its not brittle and I doubt it'll suffer any real wear. As for the weight difference affecting the handling; I'm using alloy wheels on mine so the weight lost from the centre chassis is gained back at the four corners of the wheels, which should help stability and handling overall.
