Replacement 5B Main Chassis? I broke mine...

[Ferrebee88]

I had some fun... but I broke my chassis in the process. Any suggestions for a good replacement? I have zero experience with any aftermarket chassis for this. I'll most likely replace the bent top plate with the Turtle racing version. https://www.ddmracing.com/Turtle-Ra...-HPI-Baja-5T-5SC-TR952T?quantity=1&custcol3=9

I can get this for $150:

This one is from Kraken RC. I am skeptical, but if it works it works.

I also found a Scorpion chassis.

Get a good alloy chassis brace too. I bought the one from DDM

I ended up purchasing the innovative rc HD chassis/chassis stiffener combo from Detroit Performance. I picked up the Turtle Racing HD top plate from DDM. Those should make it much more rigid.

I'm impatient... I waited a whole 30 minutes for responses and then just went for it...
