I have yet to bend the chassis even on a bad landing, Ive tried all the things like different shock oil, no swaybar, droop, you name it Ive tried it. The guy at my local hobby shop heard of guys doing this and told me about it, Ive raced almost all summer like this and have had absoultly no problems what so ever. And dont worry ... if I bend the chassis Ive already got another!!! Its only money!
