So, I guess I'm just going to trust them on this without further testing or verification.
i got some 1/8th from the same seller a couple months ago for my custom chassis build. its def softer than normal 1/8th buggy chassis aluminum. and it bends a lot easier.

one thing i noticed is it doesnt take a countersink very well. its not a clean edge at least. it leaves a lip around the edge. its no my counter sink causing it because its a brand new 6 fluted bit. its almost like it pushed the alum out.



it bends my bumper back all the time if i tap into anything at the last bend to the left in the picture.



completed chassis.
