rc4x4nut, thanks!

that's true, i guess it doesn't matter if 6061 is not as brittle as 7075, if it bends, it bends, it still fails. I suppose a bent up part(6061) is just as useless as a broken part(7075)... :007:

I'll see how much difference it will cost on the entire chassis if i made just the bottom chassis plate out of 7075, and the rest 6061.

What do you think, should i go with 7075-T6 for the bottom chassis plate?

It would prob only be $15 more... really. The .25" (chassis braces) stock is too expensive though. If i had ENOUGH money, i would make it out of 6Al 6-6-2 Titanium, ~200,000 psi yield strength. :017: And more flex than a chinese acrobat!
