I may consider even installing the carbon chasis if no disadvantage will take place.

I'd be willing to bet that when you start to stiffen up the chassis you will begin to lose all of that great rear grip, especially on asphalt. The flexy stuff was done on purpose to help this car dig in.
May get away with the stiffer setup on carpet tho.
