Aluminium Chassis on RC18T

[bertberr]

Hi, just wondered what you RC18 boys felt about the ali chassis? There was one on the used RC18T I just bought, though doesn't look as if its been driven yet with the chassis in place as there isn't a mark on it - looks brand new. Not sure what make it is, don't think its Trinity or GPM, any ideas - photo attached?

What I'm keen to know is if there's any real advantage to running one, or if I should just use the original plastic one which also came with it when I come to rebuild it??? I won't be racing, just bashing.

I've heard that because of the extra rigidity it doesn't fair so well in a big crash? All the suspension arms are still standard plastic. It looks OK, but I'm not a big bling fan, so keep it or sell it on the bay

Cheers
