Well i knocked it out in my spare time today.... pictures show it with the stock upper deck, the alumnium upper deck and the tie braces are still at the hangar i they were made out of thinner material that was type-O so i still have to heat treat them before they go on the truck i tried my hardest this afternoon to try and bend or even flex it with my hands with the stock upper deck and it wont budge, i might try running it as is, but the aluminum upper and braces are gonna make it reallly strong. (There was abosultely zero twisit or flex in the chassis with the upper and braces bolted on and they wernt even heattreated yet.)
oh and i never could get the raised edges to work for me and still be able to stuff a standard servo on there so i left them off this one. Also disregard the crooked super gear i had attempted to make a mlst one fit but it didnt work and i havent taken it off yet.
btw its .125 6061 T6 if your wondering, the top deck and brace are made out of .100 7075
i would definetly say its strong enough.
