You’re 100% right. No need to get hung up on something like that when there’s not even an issue yet (or ever).We could have predicted, many of us have been down the same road, LOL
As to the aluminum chassis, I personally don't see any of them as crappy. Sure some are better than others, but for average use they all work as intended. Even when I did manage to bend one on my TT back when, I stripped it down and straightened it, reassembled and still used for a while..eventually I did bend it again. Which is when I made my own. I don't think there ever was an aftermarket chassis for that model.
@Littlemotor is right, the Tekno is 7075 as standard. Stronger for sure, but since it's intended for racing they mill out quite a bit of strength for weight reduction. Enough so that the aftermarket makes chassis for those as well. Most all the hardcore jumping enthusiasts end up on an upgraded chassis regardless of brand.
Bottom line is, anyone who goes for huge air either bends the stock aluminum or breaks the stock plastic chassis. There are upgrades for both in most cases, but I'd say wait until it happens before troubling yourself with it. May never happen. Money always goes down the drain, memories last forever! Enjoy the bonding time with your son!!
I need RC tools. What’s the basic stuff I should have on hand?
