Yes the Carbon brace for the 2spd is nice as is the 5th body post. It also stiffens the car a little bit in the front by connecting the 2 bulk heads. There really is no need for the alloy chassis side stiffner. you can run the car with out it as a tuning option for slight flex. The wide front bumper is also a tuning option. when used with out any foam it adds a little high speed steering. I personally run the foam bumper. The car is far superior in design compared to the MTX4r. both cars are very good. As for the MTX5 I am sure it will be a great car. My suggestion is to stick with one car and learn it inside and out. all of the new cars are very very close and it comes down to the driver.
