Here is how I usually think of it. Softer chassis means more grip generally to a certain point. Flex adapts the car to optimally respond when the car turns, breaks, accelerates, and changes directions side to side. But the car will respond slower and can get unpredictable especially when you try to change directions quickly, especially if you put too much flex in higher grip conditions. Though, I find that putting more/less flex doesn't make the car react as much compared with other usual changes like droop, roll center, ride height,etc,. It works well in loose conditions to give the car a bit more room to bend to stick to the track floor before it gets loose. I'm really not sure how things can be different in nitro cars than in electric cars but I believe the same physics can be applied. Correct me if I'm wrong...
