MOST importantly magnesium has the highest known damping capacity of any structural metal available! Magnesium will absorb 16 times more shock and vibration than aluminum, and 10 times that of any other metal."
I guess the other question is, is it worth the price? This chassis is easily a quarter of the kit’s price.
