Swaybars don't really help much unless you're racing on a track.

If you're mostly bashing, 1/2" offset wheels will help more than swaybars.

I had sway bars for awhile on my t-maxx. I noticed a little bit of difference performance in the turns. The only thing I didn't like was your suspension range was limited with the sway bars so I ended up taking them off. What really helps for better turning is the 3.3 shafts setup and 17mm hubs. The wider the easier it is for them to turn.

yea, that was another question i was going to ask if it limited your suspension. the guy selling them i have some credit with him. 2 sets would be $30.00 shipped. but i think i have $15.00 credit with him. so i could get both sets for $15.00. but if it messes with the suspension, i might just leave it be.

It takes away like half your travel. It's not bad if you aren't hitting hug jumps. Big jumps are hard on them. You can tell because you will break the screws that hold the the sway bars on the a-arms.
