I've tried to keep up to date with this thread, but apologies if already been asked, but I have a question:

I've seen it mentioned on a number of forums about adding weight to the car, and with at the same time, the mention of chassis's breaking at the front, so has anybody considered the possibility of a aluminium chassis.
It certainly would be the best place for the weight to be, so why not?
I obviously haven't personally considered battery tray options and side guards, before anybody asks, as i'm new to the electric side of the hobby after being into nitro for many years, so not aware of what could be used.
