its a little bit over 2.28mm's thick (.09 inches). Teeny bit thinner than a MT2 G3.0 chassis plate but a bit thicker than a old MT1 chassis plate.
Yea the bramas failure was no real surprise. I was more disappointed in how it failed instead of the fact it failed. I was actually expecting the motor to rip itself out of the chassis in some kind of awesome display(sadly that would have made me happy) not the rear diff's drive gear to break due to it being made from plastic and the rear to just snap off. It was the fairly mundane end to it that actually cheesed me off.
I thought about it with the DF-02 that seems like it might be a royal pain to me seeing the way the chassis is formed, and how the hubs where the arms hook on are moulded in the base chassis. It should be possible though to bolt a sheet of aluminum under it though (I'd only go like 1mm for that just to strengthen it).
BTW update swapped front shuck tower to a little bit smaller one mounted the front arms an extremely ghetto way (just to see if they fit) and found I have to do a little bit of grinding on one side. But hell its really starting to look like a RC now. Glad I bought that RPM bumper also
Still left is to find a place to put body mounts. I know where I will put the rear one but the front one is making me thing a little. Also still have to disassemble it to start on the aluminum braces. So still a bit a work ahead before I can say its done
