| It's the stick can't be bigger around than your thumb. A toothpick is about the length of your thumb, that won't do much damage. Good to see something different. Seems like every post is another stick these days. But since I haven't got my TLT yet, I can't say too much. |

| Don't know about that styrene chassis. Without lots of bracing, it's not going to take the loads from the shocks very well. You'll have a lot of torsional loading as well, and styrene likes to crack under stress. You can avoid most of the flex by adding a brace at 90 degrees to the edges (think folded paper, much stiffer than unfolded) or even doing a box section. Either way, I think you'll want to tie the ends of the chassis together somehow to avoid pretzeling it. Props for originality, though  |

| THanks for the ideas goat this is mainly a mockup/layout chassis I will be running this way to test the setup and the most likely have it cut from carbon fiber  . |
