Price tag. Not trying to spend $350-400. That's the only reason.

Saddles can always come much later. Driving is always superior to any upgrade.

yeah I will probably wait. I am in the process of making a custom chassis brace. I will post pictures when done. I am making it so that I can run a stock underbody with it.

I'm using the rod ends on mine also but mine uses an aluminum tube.

Be careful with the AL tube. It doesn't flex 'at all' and hurts the attachment points of the Brace. Alot of stress. The CB just "stops" the chassis from flexing out of performance. The AL turns it static.

O.K. I am going for a shorter brace, from the front tap plate lower level (?) to the closest screw on the RX box divider thing (I hope you know what I mean).

There is nothing. wrong with running Stick packs. I think i'm one of the last guys running sticks at this point. (who's got more than 250.00 additional added to Truck) and I handle, balance, and lap Losi's just fine. Stick with what you've got and upgrade the Truck with some FT shocks or something for the price of getting a saddle pack or two.

Saddle packs bring the most bang for the buck .

Have you tried Exotech chassis ? I took .7 a sec off my laptimes on a 15 sec laptime track . Yes it cost a $100.00 but I didn't have to buy new batteries either . IMO thats pretty good bang for your buck .
