We all have the epx pro models and have been building many Aluminum upgrades. If you can't force the chassis to accept nitro version it is possible to upgrade to aluminum with a little home engineering. See below. This bumper took a direct pole hit at an easy 40 mph lipo epx. Still in tact.
jeez, nice work man!
You just traced out the chassis, to cut the alloy one. Now you have heavy duty bumper as well as skid plates.
I also like where you bolted it to the chassis. You picked points that dont get any stress. If you had bolted it with the screws that hold the stock chassis to the diff cases that could have caused an issue.
Only thing I would have done different, is I would have used a much larger drill bit to make a countersink hole. Then used flat head screws to get them flush mounted with the alloy chassis.
You know, multiple people lately have been asking about alloy chassis for the volcano. Perhaps you should consider making/selling what you have there!
