Plastic chassis vs carbon

Kifogrande · #1 25-12-2009

Does the plastic chassis snap as easy as the carbon one? I like the car, but i'm deciding whether I can run it or not. I clipped a pipe at PDA and snapped the carbon chassis. Car was run in qualifiers and then it went in the final. Thanks for the info.....

How about if i put it this way... If i wack the plastic chassis as hard as i hit the carbon one, will it snap too?

kifo cant believe you snapped a carbon chassis buddy mm your a bit throttle happy like me buddy ,, must be a painters thing any way mate get the plastic chassis it should resolve your problem mate,, will say that both chassis are fine from the x factory point of view but the new plastic chassis does seem to have that extra flex and also seems to me to also increase the handling of the x6 , but im sure that if you speak to the other x factory drivers they ll all say both are fine happy chrimbo too buddy

mine snapped in same situation as yours. I only expected a wishbone or bulkhead to have snapped as i only hit it with the front left, not straight on, and i wasnt going that fast. I really hope the plastic version is better/stronger

I've broken 2 graphite chassis' on my squared, both snapped from an impact on the front wheel from the side.

I have yet to break a plastic chassis

just out of interest do you use the GHEA brass bulk head,i snapped mine just going over a jump,all the pics iv seen of snapped chassis are with the brass bulk head,the plasic one might flex with the chassis,if you get what i mean
