Did you say kinks? I've killed the driveshafts and every piece of stock aluminum on the truck except the center brace and hexes. My stock hinge pin retainers smile at me.
The ruler is on the bottom. The chassis bows up in the center. Follow the bottom edge left and there's a bump up (if the chassis was right side up it would be a dip), that's where the motor mounts. What you don't see in the picture is the chassis is also twisted.
Traxxas got the diffs and handling right, everything else I can fix.

Meh Arrma didn't do much better with their stock aluminum parts and their EXB parts aren't all that either.
This was my Kraton EXB after a head on collision with a Sledge.
