MT handling without anti roll bar!
I was sick of my MT handling like a brick so I removed the rear anti roll bar and a shock from each wheel, I know I could have put thinner oil in the shocks but thought i'd try this first. Results are fantastic, it actually steers well at high speed now and takes the bumps a lot better it handles more like my Revo now, the best mod i've made by far.

I've done the same thing and a friend of mine (Selwa on the board) advise me to try it and you're right I noticed my FG MT handled better at the local BMX track.

RE: MT handling without anti roll bar!
did you guys put a hole in your rims????? That helps stop the truck from excessive bouncing and also helps with the handeling

when i switched to the elcon rear suspension my anit roll bar wouldnt fit any more, and yes mine handled alot better, especially on road with slicks. with the anti roll bar it rolled alot easier, lol

[&:] Strangely enough, I just changed my shock oil to 40 in the front and 50 in the rear, I removed the anti-roll bar, AND I drilled holes in my tires (not the rims).
I am amazed at the difference these little changes have made to the way my Monster Beetle handles! Now, my new body will live a bit longer.

Mine seems to handle fine with everything stock the way it came from factory. All i did was glue the tires But my suspension feels softer then my bros but he got his truck from another shipment from the factory so who knows maybe my oil is better on the recent shipment.

RE: MT handling without anti roll bar!
Fg started using a lighter oil for the shocks in the last couple of shipments of MTs beacause of the negitive feedback recieved from the stiffness of the previous oils/shocks
