NP, I know me and a few others exspiremented with rear sway bars to stop the single rear wheel squat that happens on these, that allows the front tire to rise during hard cornering acceleration. A nasty habit these have. I was looking at a GPM? T-Maxx rear sway bar on Ebay recently, but for the life of me couldn't figure out how effective it would be. I actually built my own on one T and also one E-maxx using this principle. I attached it to the chassis braces, near the rear, where they attach to the chassis, then attached to the lower A-Arms. The lessons the wild sagging on the rear under hard cornering accerations. One A-Arm, holds the other A-Arm true, sort of. The bar flexes to control both of them. The object is to "bind" the chassis to the A-Arms, to control all three. Lol, sometimes I have alot of time on my hands to try things but I could tell the differance. The thicker the rod, the less flex there is. I used a 3/16 appprox. for my stuff.

Two auto sway bars. They come in different shapes and thicknesses to match each cars weight and desired amount of body roll.
