In fairness, you had the best AE truck at Brandon's.

Send me a Exo chassis, I'll sacrifice my spare AE chassis and cut them both up on the bandsaw, weigh them, take pictures, and post it.

But that's what I was going to say - a majority of the weight is on the edges.

Because the roll center is too high?

Kind of funny, the hot ticket right now in the 2w buggy class is to raise the rear roll center.
