While aluminum chassis on 1/12th cars go back 25 years, recently with changes to the carpet and new tires, aluminum is making a comeback for 1/12th scale. A properly made aluminum chassis is stiffer than standard carbon fiber and this can lead to more consistant lap times in high bite conditions.
This aircraft aluminum chassis from Team CRC is the result of development work with the race team headed by the World Champion podium finishing Team CRC Japan. It is stiffer than some of the other aluminum chassis on the market and built to original stock CRC Xti-WC geometry.
