I've noticed that a number of hop-ups for 4wd buggies are intended to increase flex - off the top of my head, Diggity Designs do a slim top deck for the B44, and Team Azurashi do thin topdecks for the 501X - something that has appeared in the 511X too.

Considering the venue I run mine at (wood floor = nearly zero traction), flex would be my friend

I suppose the trick is to have an easy means of stiffening or softening the chassis dependant on the surface, such as the XRay touring cars do.
