any car you crash heavily will break or bend something. It goes without saying that an alloy chassis will bend rather than break. If anything this is a major plus as it will most likely allow you to finish a race at least!
If you don't want to spend extra money on braces then no one is stopping you from knocking some up yourself. I'm pretty sure it's not rocket science to bolt some fibreglass onto the side of the chassis and mark it up and shape it to fit nicely.
At the end of the day the Centro is an amazing car which has achieved some amazing results in a short space of time. I see a hell of a lot of the cars in the Mid-West region and again competing in the National series. Given the B4 was such a popular car pre-Mid motor band wagon and a lot of people have X6's there was only the £169.99 cost to obtain a Centro. Pretty cheap considering alternative cars out there costing £500+ to build. Granted you could argue people will already have both Kyosho cars so could build their 2wd from those, but you are gutting 2 cars to build 1 rather than replacing your B4/X6 with a Centro.
At the end of the day if you want to go slow and survive crashes then use a slower car. If you want to go faster with a car that might not drive away from smacking a un-movable object then the Centro is a great car at a great price.
