Having broken another couple of front chassis plates I decided to make a couple of brace plates; Not as elegant as the machined piece but should work. Made of 2mm alloy; Bolted behind the servo mount (considered using the mount bolt but thought I should isolate that) to the main chassis; One nut n bolt at the back of the dodgy chassis plate; And sandwiched by the 4 bolts at the front.

Weighs around 27g so should add much needed weight up front.

Hope this doesn't push the "weakest link" somewhere else

Another homemade improvement to the front subchasis with galvanized steel. The whole piece weights 27gr.

Is it rivited in place or screwed?

Two rivets at the back (with a washer on the other side), and all the piece is glued with flexible poliuretane adhesive (Sikaflex is the name of the product). The front is well held with the four default screws. All my three front plates are broken, but with this system they are alive again (I've only used one and it seems to work... two hard weekends of racing and it has survived every impact)
