If your chassis is flexing surely you are taking something away from your shocks, springs and tyres? It can't be making those components work to their full potential?
Good question that bothers me too. Full size race cars live and die by their rigidity. I think what you give up on un-dampened flexing/springing you gain on controlability. TC is scale in name only, almost nothing scales from full size (the wheelbase does). The simple fact is that flex works!
