Ultra lx-1e

[scarletboa]

my lx-1e has a bent chassis, thanks to it bouncing 6ft in the air off of the wing. it was very bent, the rear chassis brace was torn off of the bulkhead, and the dogbone was shaped like a question mark. i managed to get the chassis and dogbone straightened temporarily, but it didn't take much to tweak the chassis, bending my chassis brace.

the cheapest i have found a stock chassis for the lx-1e was $70. this is a standard 6061, non-machined 3mm chassis. why the hell is it so expensive? a new chassis for my crt x2 is only $40 and it is machined, 7075, lightened and hardened.

are there any aftermarket chassis for this buggy? i haven't been able to find any, so if anybody knows of either a cheaper chassis, or an aftermarket chassis, please, let me know.
