A lot of ppl like the exotec to lower your cg and add some weight. I am a cheap person and only buy what is absolutely needed. I personally dont think its worth the $100, but if you have deeper pockets than me, go for it. The only upgrade that the truck NEEDS in my opinion are sway bars. This truck is crap to drive without them, in my opinion and should have been included in all kits. Anything else is just bling, lol. The brace might be good too.

But I just find it comical, that the guys on the losi forum are trading out the alum for composite chassis to make the truck lighter and the AE guys are getting alum to make it heavier.
