What's the difference between 10T carbon fiber and graphite
What's the difference between 10T carbon fiber and graphite
Just came back from the LHS and they had a bunch of vintage rc10gt & rc10t carbon fiber and graphite front and rear shock towers. I asked the owner what the difference was and he couldn't give me a solid answer. Anyone know? Are they better than the original fiberglass?

graphite is stiffer/stronger and lighter than fiberglass

no, they just started using black fiberglass instead of the usual greenish stuff at a certain point.slvrback wrote:In a bin of old rc10 stuff he had a shock tower that was titled " black fiberglass shock tower" W'as.this a special item?
