the steering mechanism is a magnet isnt it?

Well if the chassis is made outta aluminum shouldn't it not interfere with magnets? Maybe I'm wrong.

that's true ... aluminum isn't a ferrous metal... so it won't mess up the steering system

Some wireless internet card cases are made out of aluminum.

Aluminum conducts electricity easly, so you are going to have a hell of a time trying to get all the wires not to touch anything. ]! But you always can spray them so they can't conduct electricty.

Napalm_Guru the only bare metal would be the solder points on the pcb.
other then that ,all the wires are enamel coated or jacketed

I do not know about the enamel your probly right.

But the metal tab carrying the charge to the motor and the battery taps are going to have problems unless coated.

If the wires touched the carbon fiber, it would cause glitching..

Just clearcoat the aluminum chassis. As long as the contacts are secure and don't rattle (causing the paint to rub off) it should work fine. This would also let you polish the chassis without worrying about it losing its shine.

or you could anodize the aluminum. Get a car battery and some of that RIT dye.

Yeah, anodizing would be sweet because you could do custom colors. A car battery and RIT dye? Sounds interesting, would you give me some info on how this is done?

Anodized Aluminum is still conductive on the surface! The best bet to make aluminum less conductive is through coating it with a non conductive material (i.e. plastic, rubber, powder coating).

Also carbon fiber is also considered semi-conductive, especially on any end, since we all know carbon is conductive!
