As much as I try to always have good landings from big air, I'm not always successful, and for several of the worse ones, I have bent the chassis (among other damage). I have bent it back each time, but its definitely not perfectly true any more, and one of these days, it will need to be replaced. It would be great to have a 4 mm thick chassis plate to install. This along with aluminum chassis braces might be a great combo for keeping the chassis from bending.
As far grade of aluminum, I think that ARRMA likely doesn't even use 6061-T6, so using 6061-T6 would be great from that perspective. 7075-T6 is definitely a hell of a lot stronger than 6061-T6, so its attractive for that reason, but its ability to deform without failing is not quite as good as 6061-T6. My preference would to take a chance with 7075-T6, but I'd buy one made from either material.
