Default DEX210 +8mm, DESC210r and DEST210r aluminum chassis

Is there any interest in an aluminum chassis for the SC or ST? I'm also working on a +8mm aluminum chassis. I will be doing some serious testing with an aluminum SC chassis this comming weekend and see how it compares to the plastic one. Heres a pic before it gets the kick up bent tomorrow



and a pic showing its extra length compared to a stock length peice (an easy way to confirm the hole locations)



Post here or pm me if your interested in any of the 3 chassis, I'll probably only do 1 run of them (a total of about 50 chassis) so I want to get a ballpark of how many of each to make

back to back tested against standard, with original set up no good. Lots of understeer.

Adjusted a few things to get some steering better but not as fast as the standard car.
awesome on the sweepers and getting on power, but struggled though the twisty bits.

Shelved and went back standard, but now thinking a brass front bulkhead........

To note if your only using crap ally, don't machine out for the reciever wires.

Guess where it bends.

Thats why the first bunch of testing will be with the SC chassis, if there's going to be any issues, it will happen with that chassis. In the event its not ridgid enough we do have an alternative plan to prevent any issues. These won't b for sale until after we've done some serious testing

Default Dest210r chassis

I've been looking for a good stadium truck chassis for a while, I'm tired of breaking these plastic chassis. And team-Durango won't get back to me when I ask about up graded chassis for the truck. How much for one?
