opinions on sway bars go both ways some like them some dont. the mcd you have seen sway bars on is the wider arm version (evo 2& 3 i believe). there is also no mounting provisions on the fs.with some fs hop ups diff cases i dont think it would be hard to mount up some sway bars , and make them yourself. just keep in mind you need to make them out of spring steel, as "piano" wire wont really effect anything. i have had sway bars on several different rc cars on some the difference was night and day, and on some all they did was screw up my suspension travel. a quality sway bar is definately a plus. would you go out and remove the sway bar from your passenger car? a good design has to have some key features including different thickness bars,the bar end to arm linkage needs to be adjustable, as do the ends of the sway bar to adjust leverage. i have seen the mcd sway bar in action and it does corner really well and chassis roll was not as noticeable my fs . we had the same tire/wheel package on both cars as well. the parts that fs hop ups are putting together would be really easy to make sway bar ready, but i dont think the plastic fs diff cases would work as well.

thanks for the input . I thinking in that direction off up- grades . I like the way it handle when you see the baja 1000 run but hate to give up the mt clearance . mt climbs like an animal when on construction sites,rough terrain .
