$27 (B5 chassis) for a drastic change which might prove to pay off -- makes sense to me.
$27 is cheap. Could be a good tuning option!

Couple things I learned running my first race with the B5

- Car is fast and really smooth coming of the jumps and landings are soft and forgiving
- Make sure to locktite your rear hub ball stud...almost blew one off
- The front axle inserts could be an issue down the road. I noticed the only slop in the steering is caused by the inserts wiggling slightly in the front hub assembly, one side more than another. I foresee aluminum or carbon inserts in the future as it could be a wear item. Nothing to worry about yet as its minimal play.
- Front end pushes on the stock setup, seems everyone is going to the 3mm front axle setup, shorty battery forward seemed the best.
- Best car I've ever driven and put together

Would the gullwing arms and tower not be an option for reducing the push?? I know it helped a ton on my sc10, I read somewhere that it was an option for more steering.?.?

You could have just said no and saved yourself the typing.
