I was under the impression Delrin was pretty dough stuff, I've made many parts out of it for my Super Crawler but never used it on any high speed rigs.
If I had a Drill Press the aluminum would be a piece of cake. I have some 3mm aluminum that might work (maybe double it up), I'll give it a go using the Delrin as a template. the Delrin is 3/8 thick and has almost zero flex much less than the 3mm aluminum.
Btw, thanks for the info on bodies!!

Edit: There's a few different bodies in that wheelbase range. FG, MCD, Hurrax are on the higher end of price. Redcat, Duratrax Firehammer, and other clones are about half the price.
