It’s 100 grams weight difference.
Got me thinking about the b I’m building, there doesn’t seem to be options like this. Hopefully it’s harder to bend those since they’re shorter/lighter ?

Ugh, pretty sure I‘m going to bend that b chassis in no time now.
I ordered the rcmax chassis since the new prices are pretty much the same, plus as crucial said how can someone resist that beauty. The weight difference turned out to be almost nothing, so no good reason to buy stock again knowing that I can already bend it, might as well give rcmax a try.

You fools are ruthless. It's pretty easy to keep em straight if you don't hit anything correct?

Now that will be what I fek up next. But I've not bent mine yet, and it's taken some serious hits, tumbles, flips, sudden stops, rolls, cartwheels and whatever other acrobatics I cant think of atm, and still straight.
I think a lot of it can do with how you hit rather than just how hard, or how many time you hit. The chassis I got off Lance, looks like its seen war underneath (after I got the rest of the chassis wrap off) but perfectly straight. we also need to think that a lot of us are quick to slap on alloy chassis braces and that can also transfer more force in a hit to the center line of the chassis plate. Ie more than a plastic brace that will have a good bit of flex to it.

Ive hit tombstones, rocks, took tumbles. I must just be lucky it never bent. I thought for sure it would be with how everyone else bends em. Its fairly straight though. ?

Maybe if you adjusted your throttle to go more then 25%, you too could become a member of "Bent" chassis club.??

I had no problem keeping my chassis straight until it decided to have some fence for lunch
