this is what i used on my chassis and also what i use to balance wheels. YOU WILL NOT GET THE SAME EFFECT AS EXOTEK. i tried it, trust me. even with the chassis brace, is not the same. it definitely does help though. i tried it lining the entire center section of chassis, then just the front half. it was better with the front half (i did not have saddle conversion though, would have been even better)
you still have all the flex of regular chassis though, and when you increase weight, i think you need to remove flex to keep the truck controllable. with the flex gone, it makes the truck sluggish at slower speeds, but better for more aggressive driving at faster speeds. it is the lateral flex that needs to stiffen up, not just longitudinal as the brace fixes
just make sure your battery still fits alright, it is not that thick, but made it a tight fit with the revtech 6500 (slightly thicker battery case)
