Default K2 Carbon Chassis?

Has anyone ran the carbon chassis on their K2?

Im currently running the thinner rear top decks and thinner chassis. The carbon chassis came with spares but I can't find much info on when it's best to use?

Usually run the carbon chassis when you do not need the extra weight of the alloy chassis. I used to run indoors on carpet with the carbon chassis. Everywhere else I used the 2.0mm alloy chassis.

This is a bit up for debate. Although Carbon is lighter, the theory is generally that it generates more grip than an alloy chassis due to flex.

For example on carpet a TC may use an alloy chassis but on asphalt they use carbon.

I never used the K2 carbon chassis but on my KC I tend to run the carbon chassis everywhere. I also run it on carpet as it's more reactive and livens the car up.

I've fitted the carbon one to my K2 just now, ran it with 2mm alloy and 2.5mm kit one so far. Yet to run the carbon one.

I'm going along the lines of the KC has had a 5mm shorter chassis released in carbon and not an alloy one... so maybe the K2 will respond well.

2.5mm alloy (kit) 165g
2.0mm alloy 125g
2.5mm carbon 89g
