I don't remember hearing about any aluminum options for the '13, even finding CF chassis for the '13 is tough these days. The '14 was a better car, the '15 is yet better than that. I'm keeping my '13 for asphalt racing with a beat up CF chassis. If I were in the market for a new carpet car right now (which I almost am), I'd go '15 all the way.

Yeah, there are no options for an aluminum chassis for the '13. I like it for my 17.5 even though the '15 is much nicer. My hobby budget wont allow me to switch completely over. I have heard the aluminum chassis did great things for the '14 and '15 and have a machinest willing to make a aluminum chassis for the '13.
My question is, who else would be interested in getting one? The more I order the cheaper they become.

Wouldn't it be better to just get an aluminum chassis for the '14, and pick up some suspension mounts, inserts, and hinge pins? If you order from rcmarket, you can get the Arrowmax aluminum chassis and new suspension mounting for less than you'd probably pay doing a group buy on custom aluminum chassis for the '13, and end up with a better car.

it all depends on the cost.

If you guys are interested in an aluminum chassis for the '13 we can have the rx4 chassis cut out of aluminum now. This would allow you to use the '13 mounts or upgrade to the spec r R1 mounts/ rx4 mounts if you wanted to. Since we cut these in house now, I can fire them up any time now, for a very reasonable cost.

Thanks.

Anyone know where I can find an aluminum chassis for a T4 2013 spec? Is it even worth upgrading the car or is it too outdated? Thanks

As for whether to upgrade, it’s not worth the price of all the suspension mounts. You’d also need a newer Servo mount for anything after 2014, and the motor mount may not work either. The 2013 still works well on asphalt and lower grip, but for the cost of all the additional parts to go aluminum, it’s better to sell the car and pick up a 2015 model or newer.

I know that rollers come up fairly frequently, on here and eBay. The bare chassis' are a lot harder to find! I hoarded 3 at one point! I think you can still find some laser cut chassis protectors for the '13, it will help preserve the cars you have. That or cut some blank ones out. Not sure if the company is still around, but these were what I had for my car:
