You have done some impressive fab work on this track toy and it looks like it will be a lot of fun.

Now that you have revised the issues with the stock strut and spindle setup you won’t be dissapointed much by the lack of am SLA.

I can tell you from my own experience with a strut based track car that any weak point around the strut spindle connection will be exposed very quickly once you mount reasonably sticky tires and get on a fast track. I had a failure in the same area on my setup (thankfully not a breakage) so I would heed Ron’s advice on swapping to the steel Strut housing.

Neat build.
