This can be done on the Schumacher 2WD alloy chassis by the number of screws or body clips in the top deck! Or just like leaving screws out of side pods to tune Flex on Alloy chassis ? XB4

i suspect the move to carbon / plastic tubs was to save weight when Nimhs where being used, when we switched to lipos the X6 (Ellis) weight kit made huge improvements to handling, every other manufacturer has learned from this and is now using heavier Alloy Chassis again.
Just my opinions guys, I was looking forward to the release and i got myself a B4.1 ready.
