I guess it's for those folks who bought a fender-rubbing, bump-n-race Slash but don't like fender-rubbing or bumping action.

Is the slash chassis known to be weak? That cant weigh less than the stock chassis, can it?

It looks like it's for a shelf queen slash.

It is for a shelf queen. I have never broken a chassis and probably never will. Unless it is a couple years old. But even when I do I will just buy a stock one cause it is not worth the price.

FLM is the best american rc parts manufacturer IMO, looks good to me and has to be more rigid which usually means better handling.

Im' sure it's a quality product, and it sure looks stunning, but.....more rigid? Better handling? All this on a chassis designed to have body roll and some squishiness and "realistic CORR truck handling"? Seems contradictory. If you want solid, stiff, stick-to-the-track handling, you don't get a Slash.

All flm parts are very quality. I love my brother's 2 flm trucks, however it makes the truck heavy, but it makes it handle a lot better. I also love the tranny because you can fit the MMM system in it.
