Ya the way they rip out there is really nothing you can add on to support it. Also I find epoxy (well JB weld at least) don't hold very well to this chassis. I've tried it on my current to cover the battery compartment gaps after I slightly damaged my lipo(which is proving to be a PITA to keep in) on my last chassis.

Another way you defintely could reinforce the chassis is if you got your hands on some MEK solvent...

Methyl Ethyl Ketone?

If thats it I might pick up a quart and go nuts on it
That's the stuff.

A quart would last you a hundred lifetimes. You only use a few drops per joint. They make small polyethylene containers with hollow needle tips that are perfect for dispensing one drop at a time.
