It isn't necessary. Even the cars designer, Torrance, said he only rounded the edges but did not seal them with CA.

For me, I just slightly sanded the chassis to take off the edge but did not put CA. I did CA the front shock mount. After a few crashes, I could see some damage before I put CA on it. But CA stopped that. Otherwise, my chassis has help up.
