I agree with you on the race hop ups idea, but cen needs not be the only mfg of them but because of the total volume of sales in the Nem/Gen trucks no one really wants to step up to it. The Nem/Gen have alot of features already packed into them to be competitive anyway with wheel and tires aside and the .46 is a large part of the weight issue on the trucks too. If you really want some better handling with your 55's you can try out this mod I done and it really does make a huge difference in it's handling and I cannot see why I would bother with a LCG chassis after this. Just check it out.

Now my Savage can't even hang with it. Good luck and let me know what you think.
