Default Bullet proof chassis?

Is there such a thing for the revo? I keep bending mine every couple of races. It bends under the engine mount even with the brace the 3.3 provides. Can anyone recommend a chassis that will hold up to some abuse? I have the 3.3 full rpm stuff and a stock engine with trinity pipe.

yea so it can crack and break as opposed to just bend.... get upgraded braces... aluminum or Titanium braces will work wonders.
so far i ve not heard much of hte carbon fibers. but it seems to me it would atlest Flex, and cause stripping issues. carbon fiber is good, but its not alum or Ti.

I haven't heard any problems with the Carbon Fiber. And they are running OS TM ETC.

Do they make a chassis out of Titanium? Because if they did that would probably be the best.
