Default Aluminum Chassis

Interesting? Been wondering myself on the new chassis option, I asked Howard our track guru aluminum vs. carbon, "when an aluminum chassis hits and bends its tweaks the chassis and stays that way. Carbon will take a hit, chip or break."

So if you have the money, go for it?

I tend to believe the same on the IFS on carpet? Worked great on asphalt!!!
