4th car:

in thread http://yourmicro.nexcess.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=39 we were talking about wether it's worth it to upgrade the stock chassis. I'd like to hear why you think it's a worth while upgrade.

Mine handles pretty damn good with that setup on carpet. Stock front tires with Dynamite soft Rears. Now I just need some soft front springs and hook up my front sway bar and I'm set. I think once/if I get beat bad, I'll try an upgraded chassis. Til then I'll save my money for motors for my XXX-S and various other hopups. My chassis isn't even cut yet! :D

because it doesn't weigh any less, isn't stronger, and not all hop-ups work with all of the chassis'
Are you guys running that sway bar mod that was in one of the car mags just recently. Is it worthwhile?
