If you bash it is not as strong. It is stiffer than the original chassis but it has no flex so therefore it cracks easily. Where can you get one for $60 out of curiosity?

Its not stronger at all. It lighter though. If you bash it wont last long. I have one but it for drag racing. When I go out bashing the blue chassis comes back on.

All chassis will break, bend or twist if subjected to unusual abuse. Like crashing at high rates of speed. I just comes down to do you want to spend $20 or $100 for a new chassis. To each his own. If you like the CF Chassis get it. The worst thing that could happen is it breaks and your out of $100.
