Are the aluminum rod braces good upgrade vs the alloy chassis brace?

Apparently the Rc8t uses it:

I wonder if the above would fit the RC8.2.

Seems like the rods give the best of both worlds - flex/traction AND protection.
i had a rear Al brace but it broke the screw that holds it and brace broke out around the screw on the front side. I like the feel of the plastic better on my track and it bends vs. breaks. I just keep a spare in the box now since they are cheaper.
