Typhon Chassis brace or plate?

[Mestizo_rc]

Currently have the M2cracing lwb chassis brace and is great for what it does..however lately I've been curious why I haven't found anyone making their own plates for the 3s. I'm sure the reason be it is on the lowest end of the line and why not just spend the money for the 6s line. We'll after really bashing the other day I notice the chassis getting pretty worn down. So I made a prototype skid plate I hope works. When all the mounts points are in it should be just a rigid with flex26 guage stainless

My plate compared to the brace. Weight is 3.5x the weight of the brace but covers 100% of the chassis. Plates 1mm stainless with 1mm foam underneath.

Looks very clean! Looks like you rounded the front up to cover the pin area (while also mitigating the danger of the knife edge sticking out of a 50mph handle)?

A lot of guys use a bar or plate here for the 3s-4s line of bashers. I haven’t had any breaks since I made my bar. Personally, I haven’t had any issues anywhere except the ‘neck’ of the chassis (right around the front diff housing), which the m2c brace doesn’t protect.

Still a work in progress but rounded all edges for that 50+ mph blade danger. I did manage to roll the front 45* to fit the bumper also
Still bending the plate back but it fits the diff bump nicely

Nice, I like that a lot. My bar is 1/8” thick so I didn’t try to bend it, but next time I make one I might try to do that…

Going to need a way to hold down the edges, even if it’s just a dozen small countersunk flathead self tappers. .018” sheet metal will pinch debris and fold over quickly if not.

Well executed otherwise!

Thanks for the feed back I'll keep working on it to make the wrongs, rights
