Does anyone else make a chassis other than innovative?

Also, what size are the bearings in the steering? Are they std size, look bigger than the metric bearings...

My muggy now rolls, and I finished the battery tray and esc mounts last night.

I have a 49t spur on it (had to clearance the chassis and top plate to get that to fit ) and with the hacker c50 11xl I will run a 15t pinion (kv is 1476, and I will run 6s). I like the idea of the 50t slipperential in this but I think the stock chassis would need something like this: http://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail...d=rcmxraybrace

That brace would lift the center diff up enough to clear the larger spur, and give the chassis some added strength in the weak area behind the diff (my stock chassis is bent too, slightly). Only issue would be that the front and rear chassis braces would have to be modded or completely remade. Maybe a turnbuckle style would be easy to incorporate? Not sure of the strength though. I guess the chassis plate brace could just fit around the bottom of the braces, instead of sandwiching between them and the chassis. I would have to drill more holes in the chassis to mount it...

I may pick up a new stock chassis and give it a try!
