Yea, the plastic braces are there for a reason. Most people leave them because with the aluminum, its to rigid for a blown out track, which a lot get to be after a day of hard racing. The aluminum braces are mostly run on blue groove tracks. Its not to say the quality is bad. There just there to allow some flex in the chassis, which is necessary in most conditions. Also, I think the front knuckles are aluminum. I think there just anodized black and look plastic. I haven't seen a buggy or truggy with plastic front knuckles.

Welllll, i was suppose to take another buggy, but now
I realy think to go truggy...... And i realy think to the XT8
But is the RCM chassis plate is necessary on this truggy???

you can always add the chassis plate later if you find you need it. Dafni lost a diff pinion because of the chassis flex at the RCM bash, and designed that plate with mike - which fixed his chassis flex problem. i think it had more to do with the jumps on that particular track though. but you can try the truck stock and if it flexes too much - add the plate later.

BUT - the front knuckles are indeed plastic. Xray makes aluminum knuckles and rear hub carriers as options, but i just wanted to let you know in case that's a deal-breaker (which it shouldn't be). they also make aluminum front and rear braces, if your heart is set on that too.
