GPM Aluminum Knuckles
yesterday I had the chance to run my alu knuclkles for the first time.
No problems all day long and I hit everything on the track because of radio problems.
I shattered my top deck in 6 pieces after a head on crash at ~40 mph, BUT the knuckles stayed on

4.53:1 is to me a quite steep gearing, if you're looking better high end, probably a shorter gearing will make your engine and car shine at high-end.

4 mm chassis
Actually, since the bulkheads, and all attached suspension parts are sitting ON TOP of the 4mm thick, unrecessed chassis, the chassis mass is LOWERED I.E. THE BOTTOM OF THE CHASSIS IS NOW 1 MM FURTHER BELOW THE BOTTOM OF THE BULKHEADS. Since the only mass which lies below the level of the chassis bottom is the portion of the 4 tires and wheels, and since this remains unchanged at the same ride height the the CG must be lower with the thicker chassis.

because if you run 5mm ride hieght with both chassis, the four mm you have raised every thing 1mm higher than the 3mm chassis at 5 mm ride hieght!
