If you're a decent driver and you have two identical buggies with exception of the chassis, you would be able to tell a handling difference. For example I was running between 32-33 second lap times with the rtr chassis. When I switched over I was able to pull 30-31 second lap times. The car was more planted and able to have more throttle in places it previously would not hook up in.
However, a driver just starting off would not feel much difference imo.
