Default ZX-5 Chassi

We are racing in 0C or colder. So the plastic brake's easy.
How to prevent chassi snapping before the first axle?

Use the atomic carbon or KMC graphite chassis conversion.

Sub zero temperatures will make any plastic brittle and more prone to breaking.

Isnt carbon even more brickler and even more easily brokeble?
Im not shure which main chassi to buy?
Carbon or composit.

EDIT: The chassis stiffner is made by Napalm Racing.
Is there anything more that would make my chassi stronger?
