I don't have any experience with the LCG kit, but I know people who have the protrak suspension(he likes it, says it made the truck feel better). The LCG kit should put the CG where it should have been from the start. I have to mention though, that the local top driver kicks our butts with a near stock Slash.

Those kits should improve the truck's drivability, but it won't make you a better driver. Just keep in mind, its 10% car, 90% driver. So if you're racing, and think this will make you win... it likely won't. If you just want to improve the truck, its a nice upgrade.

Either kit should be no more or less durable. Since you're only bashing, you likely won't notice the difference.

The Pro Line protrac kit is not an LCG kit. It's suspension arms and shock towers and hub carriers.

I think he was asking which mod would better benefit the truck; pretty sure he knows one is a chassis and the other is just the suspension.

Aaah...

Well..a good buddy runs a Slash. he said LCGing his Slash made a bigger difference than the Pro Line kit.
