And what are the chance bending ur aluminum chassis?
I bent my dex410 chassis by casing a quad jump. Car never drove the same even after I tried straightening it and wasn't cheap to replace. My temps are lower on the d413 than my dex410 were. I've ran my trce slash (which is cf) all over the place. Bashing the crap out of it. The chassis on that looks cleaner than my sct410 which is a track only vehicle. Cf or aluminum whatever they both have advantages and disadvantages. Cf looks dead sexy though.
