I played with the front swaybar last night @ my track. When I took a corner it would cause one of the tires to lift off the ground. I was using the 1.5 and a very soft setting. Other guys @ my track seem to like it, but personally I don't see a need for it on loose dirt and removed it after a few laps.
On another note, my Tekno hexes arrived today and they came with pins that worked just fine. The package said sc10 4x4 on it so maybe they started adding pins recently. They fit great using a .5 traxxas shim for 6mm shafts.
