And what are the chance bending ur aluminum chassis?
If it is more flexible than a cf chassis, chances of bending it are there
if you hit something hard enough. Also, there have been issues with bent aluminum chassis plates out of the box (iirc members of our club had issues withTeam Durango and TLR chassis plates, which were replaced without any problems)
I don't think most racers will have issues with their aluminum chassis plates, but some may have. Billy Easton chose a plastic chassis over aluminum for the Serpent Spyder and stated the possibility of bending as one of the reasons.
