You can, but it's not mandatory,
Use the ZX5/6 sway bar,
Swap the lower sway bar mount ballcup, to the med length shock rod end, put in the stock plastic ball in the shock rod end, then mount he lower sway bar mount inside the arm and run a screw through the sway bar mount hole in the arm to catch the new sway bar end inside the arm. It'll float just a tick, if you really want to, you can shim the lower sway bar mount in the arm tighter a couple ways.
It's super easy to do and it saves the cost of a whole sway bar kit you'll likely not need, u less you want it for the 2wd. If I remember correctly the RB6 sway bars are just a bit narrower than the ZX5/6 ones.
In the pic, I used a couple RB6 shock mounts trimmed and keyed to the arm to keep the lower mount from floating some, but it's not crucial to do.

Figured if ya could save some coin on the sway bar setup for the rb6 arms, y could spend more on other stuff. Lol.
As posted above,
Yes there are some benefits to the HD chassis,
I don't have one yet, but know a few racers that do have it on their car already,
Mainly a slightly longer overall wheel base is now doable, the ability to move the center slipper/motor forward and changing the weight bias, stiffer/less flex, and most notably for the yet to be released center diff option. Which I suspect is one of the main things it was designed for.
Sadly the center diff won't fit on the old chassis as the motor mount and slipper mount are too close, but if you took the time to drill the new holes in the chassis. You could,probably get it to work.

I can't see how the center diff would be the same size as a slipper but the pics are pretty clear...

Here's the thing - in looking at the pics of the cars from Yatabe (who were all using the center diff) they are all using the same holes in the chassis for the motor mount/center bearing plate as I am using for my slipper.
I can't see how the center diff would be the same size as a slipper but the pics are pretty clear...

Kyosho would have the smallest center gear diff on the planet,
To the point onroad TC guys would be envious, and I wouldn't bet on that.
But hey, once the parts are out, then I guess the world will know for sure.

I know I've seen some setup sheets that do say a center diff was used, but as of yet, I don't think there have been pics out yet either, of course if they did figure out a way to stuff a center diff in the same spot as the slipper would normally be, which is entirely possible, then a pic or two may already be out and most not know it. Lol.
Hopefully the parts get released sooner than later, if for nothing else to have yet another tuning option.

I use the Ultima outer hinge pin/nuts. In my opinion the ZX6 hinge pins aren't long enough (27mm vs the RB6 39mm).

so I was looking for the new HD Chassis since I will be buying the center diff when it does come out. the only thing is i see 2 hd chassis's. one part number is KYOLAW54B and the other is KYOLAW54. the KYOLAW54 says something about being ale to move the motor mount and add the center diff so if thats the case then whats the difference of the two

The LAW54b is the chassis which in edition to all that also allows you to use the floating servo mount. I believe they will discontinue the law54 and just offer the law54b.
