Status: online 		i really dont think there is a difference in the chassis between the rtr and the pro. i think the only differences are the shock towers, motor mounts, shock springs, wheel nuts and uhhh it comes with aluminum clutch shoes

Status: offline 		You mean that as it isn't really worth it?? Because there is a difference. the pro is milled and has the FGC but I think the RTR has the FGC as well..

Status: offline 		not only is the PRO chassis milled. it is 7075 alum. the rtr is 6061 which is alot less durable and less rigid. dimensions are the same, just better material and milled. it is a good upgrade from the rtr chassis. the difference is basically like any other pro buggy and its rtr counterpart. 8ight, RC8 etc. if you think there isnt much diference in 6061 vs. 7075, run clutch shoes made of these two grades of alum. and you will change your mind.
