I was browsing for random DSM parts the other day and I ran across this item on the Magnus website. This chromoly chassis looks sick I think it is a great idea for who it is intended for. I know the price may be high but for someone running eights it doesn't seem that bad. I'm not advertising or anything but I figured I would post it cause I haven't seen anyone bring it up in the forums.

The problem with the 2g's is the rear diff blows apart. The extra bracing keeps it from doing that.

The people that need it either brace the frame themselves, or run a braced rear end cover.

The cost difference is a 300 compared to 3000.
 
The bracing he had wasn't right, or it was blown off too. Bracing the bottom helps, but its not really where the weak part is. The weak part is the top of the case, and the bushings that hold it to the car. That is why some people replace them with aluminum ones.

Here is a good rear cover for the 2g's. It is made of 1/4" thick plate steel, and the load bolts preload the differential bearing caps to keep them from distorting...which is one of the main reasons they break.

The magnus rear subframe is a nice find btw. I liked the looks of it when I first saw it too. If I bought one, it would be for the rear camber/toe adjustment, not the differential bracing.
