Cheap lcg chassis

The CBE Switchback chassis is probably the best deal for SCX10 chassis. They are not as extreme on the axle clearance/skidplate drop as some other options (still more low CG than the stock chassis) but it is hard to beat for the price (about $35) and versatility. The rails are also way stiffer than a stock chassis, my Switchback has nearly no flex with just a skidplate and bumper mounts installed.

Eyeballing my Switchback against a SCX10 chassis, the lowest point of the CBE rails is about even with the top of the Axial rails. So the Switchback has about 10mm more clearance over the axles.

Never know the stock scx10 ii chassis will be flex. Did not they are made by steel or iron? And they still flex under load? Would like to know more

If you have a SCX10 or SCXII, grab the chassis by the bumpers and give it a twist. There is a ton of torsional flex, most aftermarket frame rails eliminate this by being made from thicker material. The CBE rails are made from 12 gauge steel (~ 2.75 mm thick) versus the stock Axial rails which are about half that. Axial did use a c-channel design which helps some but not as much as the heavier duty material.
