Bent Chassis need help please!!!!!!!

I just tore down my Maxx and was going to replace all the screw in it, the retard before me had replaced many of them with what ever he had laying around. with closer inspections I relized both back bulkheads where broke where they bolt to the chassis, not a big deal I just bought aluminum ones just waiting for them in the mail. I took it completely apart and noticed the chassis was cracked where the bulkhead screw goes through then I set it on a flat surface and its bent in all kind of different directions, could this what has been causing all the damage to the rest of my parts? I'm not going to mess with it anymore and try to get aonother one. Its a older .15 Maxx will the newer versions work to replace this one or do I need the older version chassis? Thanks. Since I had it all aprart I'm using Clints method of washing it lol its in the wash cycle of my dishwasher right now, minus electrics and motor lol.

I dont think I will ever buy a used nitro again, I have spent more time fixing problems not caused by me than driving it :doh: at least if it had been new and I found these problems I would know that I caused it
 
Yes a 2.5 chassis will work on the older pro 15 maxx. It will just have a few extra holes where the throttle bell crank mounts. Other than that they are pretty much identicle.
 
Maybe you should get something a little more heavy duty if you are going to wreck it all the time! New era makes a good chassis... 4.7mm thick. It is very sturdy. They also make one in titanium. Little pricey, but it's light!
 
I think for now I will just get on from ebay I seen some going for 99 cent to 3.00 plus 4 buck shipping so I think ill go that route, thanks for letting me know about the chassis I'm off to fleabay lol.
