i ran mine with sway bars and without sway bars and the truck ran just as fast without...actually, i was able to drive it more aggressively without the sway bars (i know..strange).....this truck may not even need the sway bar kit...IMHO.. (i run on an indoor large clay track i even when the track is wet, i have no traction roll problems..only spin out issues but that's driver error..lol) and this thing turns on a DIME....i used to own the losi but sold it due to overheating issues no matter what i geared it at or what motor i used (had a novak, tekin, and castle 3800kv which actually performed the best)...i can now run back to back to back 2s 65C 5600mah protek lipo's and the 3800kv motor stays at around 135-145....WITHOUT a fan....my setup is as follows:
Castle 3800kv
MMM = zero punch control, zero drag brakes, linear throttle curve, everything else on the low setting
Geared 14/58
Front shocks= 27.5wgt middle hole on tower, lower hole on arm
Rear shocks= 30wgt middle hole on tower, inner hole on arm
Front diff 50,000wgt
Rear Diff 3,000 wgt
NO clicker
Slipper 2 turns down from fully tight
Barcodes green compound
Belt tension= 3 in front, 4 in rear
VERY HAPPY with this setup
