Question Chassis upgrades

I have looked around at chassis upgrades and i have seen the carbon upgrades and the all alloy ones which do people recomend. I would have thought that the alloy would be stronger but a bit on the heavy side.What do the rest of you think?

My MiniT is still stock and I will most likely make my own chassis upgrade from aluminum.

But - I think the CF after market one would be better. The ali might be to stiff. I say use ali upgrades on the A-Arms and other parts, but for the chassis, you want some flex to it.

The RC is like a chain. Strengthen one link and the link next in line breaks.

What I mean is when you get aluminum A arms and hit something hard with the stock chassis - you break the chassis - or severely bend the pins on the A arms. I am NOT knocking aftermarket parts! They are mostly engineered to far stronger - thicker - thinner - lighter quality than their stock replacement, and usually at a cost.

People usually get the chassis for racing - or because they want to alter the electronics and an after market chassis is much more accomodating to after market servos. Either chassis is good depending upon what you USE your Mini-T for. I would think that the USE factor would be a deciding point.
