I prefer 7075 aluminum or titanium- you get lighter weight and a stiffer chassis. I just got the JT Racing 7075 chassis and JUST installed it and I am very happy with it.

Stay away from the RC Raven chassis; I had a hard time keeping the engine aligned on that one. They use this half arsed plate to secure the motor to the chassis and it plain doesn't work.

Oh, I got the JT Racing chassis for $30 on ebay. Do a search on posts by me. I had a post a while back on chassis choices and a LOT of people chimed in with good information.

This is an extremely cheap knockoff of the Pro Hobby Racing Faze5 chassis. We bought one just for kicks and it folded like a cheap suit after about 10 minutes of hard running on a race track that the Faze 5 handles like it's a parking lot. It costs less, but you get what you pay for.
