has anyone other than me tried to put the original brace from the rear links on the front and have one on the rear as well? I just mounted it and it seems like it would be much better for high speed bashing now. I have not had the time to try it outside yet because its raining and its dark but in the livingroom it seemed to handle better.

Its like adding a stiffer sway bar to a sports car its going to titen up the suspension and make it handle better. thou it sucks for crawling.

I know. im hoping it will work well for high speed bashing and such as im planning on keeping it stock WB with just locked diffs and strc alu upgrades and some different gearing options to make it work as a crawler/basher with just moving the battery up front for crawling.

with the braces in place it has maybe 1" of flex so its not a very good crawler, but they are easy to remove so i will just leave them on or off depnding on the driving.

Yes it will definately help handling. Articulation will suffer badly though as you know.
