I think people are so quick to judge and we should step back and realize the chassis handling issues were noticeable during super highly competitive modified races. In reality, especially in North America, most of us wont be running at such high speeds or up against such competition. The chassis you have now is fine, it does the job. Yes, it might break from time to time but that's inevitable.

Enjoy the 418 chassis, it's truly a work of art and engineering all wrapped in one.

... ps. I own a BD7 and find the 418 more aesthetically pleasing than my current chassis. I bet they would both handle the same at the speeds i"m running.
In total agreement about 41X "Fit, Finish, Precision" points
They are very pretty cars, that work well
