I am curious guys as to what you think would be the result of making a 3mm or 2.5mm chassis with no cutouts for side by side packs and without the extra holes? WHat I am getting at is how stiff could you make the evo2 chassis if it was designed for saddle packs only?? I am very tempted to take my chassis off my car and send it to Penguin RC and have them build me a custom chassis out of there super stiff Carbon Fiber sheet.

If its 2.5mm-I'll just remove all the extra cut-outs and holes.

If its 3mm-I'll remove the extra cutouts, mill down the places where the bulkheads attach by 0.5mm and possibly add some smaller slots to save weight, but not sacrifice rigidity.

Just brainstorming here....
