Madrat chassis plate

[92nc30]

Hi, after my son drove his rat into a kurb at top speed it totalled the front end. I ordered some new standard parts but decided to make a solid aluminium chassis plate for it. What do you think?? I have tested it and its held up well to frontal crashes so far.

Battle_Axe,
I made it to the exact dimensions as the original plastic one with the same kick up. It's gone full speed into the same kurb and only broke the plastic tip of the plate under the alloy bit. I had to make it strong , my son is only 8 and doesn't understand slow yet.

Good job.

Did you weigh it before you fitted it ??

[92nc30]

I didn't weigh it as i was in a rush to fit it, but my son has been jumping it and it still seems fairly well balanced. At a guess it would be 2-3 times heavier than the plastic one
