brushless 1/10th truggy (help and opinions?)

[tashpop]

i found some aluminum online and in the angled stock i can go anywhere from 1/8th to 1/2" in thickness. i'm thinking the 3/16" would do fine to make something. also its 6061 t-6, so not as strong. the 3/16 is good for making an L_____ shape, but i'm also thinking if i get something like the 3/8-1/2", i could just stand it on its side and tap/thread right into it. any opinions?
