A few weeks back I had a really bad crash with my JS at the track. I broke both the front chassis plate and rear chassis plate. Anyways I got those replaced and I also picked up a Tekin RS. While I was squirting around on my street to see how fast the RS was, I spun a few times on some dirt and the car bumped the curb a few times. No noticeable damage except one thing, the rear chassis plate broke in exactly the same spot again.

Although, I had another new rear chassis plate available in my pit box, I thought to myself that this part seems a bit fragile. It is held to the main chassis with two screws and that is where it snapped. Perhaps its too much load for so little amount of plastic. So I decided to make one out of graphite. It took about a half of an afternoon to do it using my Dremel tool, drill bit, cut-off wheel, and diamond milling bit. A little rough but not bad and its much stronger than the stock plastic piece. I'll try to post some pics of it.

Anyways, if Wolf is listening, it would be nice if you can offer this as an option for us JS owners as a Wolf Hobbies part. I'm considering making the front piece in graphite as well but that one may take more work. However, if Wolf can offer the option, it would save me a lot of trouble.

I know, some of you guys will say "why not just get the RS or FS" but I like the way the JS fits my the hardcase lipos including my new Peak 5400 pack. I also like the fact that this "plastic" car is able to compete with the T2s and T3s at my local track.
