We normally run M&M bodies. Thinking about going a different route.
Thinking about it.Going away from plastic to fiberglass?
I prefer fiberglass over the plastic bodies, but fiberglass is way less forgiving than the plastic bodies. Be careful when the karts bunch up as it doesn't take much to put rear bumper bolt holes in the nose.Thinking about it.
i think Kevlar or an aramid fiber would be a better choice, far cheaper almost as strong, better abrasion resistance etc. i wish they would put it in the nose along the lower front.No one mentioned carbon fiber?
May not be of any interest to you because of the cost, but that would be the lightest (and strongest if it's made right.)

Kevlar is heavier than most think. I think an aluminum body would be great if it was allowed. Aluminum might keep guys from using their kart as a battering ram.i think Kevlar or an aramid fiber would be a better choice, far cheaper almost as strong, better abrasion resistance etc. i wish they would put it in the nose along the lower front.
