A plastic chassis might be good to keep costs down.
I'm not going for bling bling this time, just something
that drives good and doesnt handle like poo.
A little bit of aluminum doesnt hurt, but too much and
the car is too heavy to be a good track tamer.
Weight will be slowing you down.

Aluminum bulkheads(Front and Rear) would be the only aluminum part(s)
the car may need. Minus a milled motor plate.
Plastic Bulkheads are weak in a 2wd car, and you have to
have re-inforcing brackets to prevent breaking bulkheads.
Carbon fiber shock towers would be another nice option.
Although not required.
