I was going to build mine out of carbon fiber but it is extremely hard to come by right now so I am going to use high strength fiberglass. I will be using a space frame/tube chassis since the stock pan will not work with my setup. I am currently working on perfecting the plug before I make the mold.
I don't think a carbon fiber body could do the same job as the metal shell as the metal shell keeps the chassis stiff and it would take a lot of carbon fiber to make it the same stiffness. As far as using kevlar in the carbon to keep it from turning into dust on an accident you have to remember that the accident has to be really servere to have that effect on the carbon. In an accident that bad the carbon dust is the last of your concerns.
