Default chasis flex

I had the car out the other night. Man what a difference! I tried running the diffs 7/5/3 but I think this considers track condition, like maybe a dry blown out track. I switched back to a 5/7/3 mix. which I feel works on a wet, packed down clay track. I didn't even break anything, and I was even trying too! Well, I wasn't being to stupid. What I mean is jumping far and landing hard, end for end sometimes.

What I have noticed on the other hand is my body is taking a real beating. Especially from the body posts! I have the turbo so it is equipped with the front chasis stiffener and I have added the rear chasis stiffener from Kfactory. I still get alot of flex, not that it is all bad. I mean it helps the cars handling but tears up the body, and these bodies aren't cheap!

Has anyone experienced the same? Does anyone have any resolution?
