Couple of suggestions...stick with aluminum for the motor plate to help dissapate heat from the motor. If your going to make the chassis that narrow make sure to use a thick CF and probably a top deck to keep it from twisting too much.

it doesnt have any flex. on my 12cell rustler i made a surround also around the cells with 3mm. i will have to update some pics of that.
