It's weight v/s strength, I would go with aluminum for the strength.

alright thanks. by the way do you know what parts will i need to turn my 18b into a 18mt? the mt seems to be the more popular in hop ups.

Wheels, tires, body mounts, body, and gearing.

Your manual should list the different part numbers towards the end of it.

I guess its more of a basher so an alu shoch tower is a must,carbon graphite towers would be more for a racer.
