for nitro a roll is almost a must if you bash, on pavement if you don't have a roll bar and you flip it on its lid good you will bend the fins up and scratch it all up. The roll bar protects both of these from happening. With bent fins your nitro will not cool down correctly and the scratches just look horrible.

Electric on the other hand i dont think it is really needed but couldn't hurt. Especially in the FLM chassis where everything is inside the chassis anyway. You can take the ESC mount off and flip the ESC on its side and you should be able to keep the ESC completely inside the chassis. I will try this tonight and post pics of what i am saying.

As far as protecting your bodies is ridiculous. The body still hit the pavement before the roll bar so how does this change anything other than MAYBE helping not crack as much.
All the above is MO.


I fly, I drive, but most of all I crash.
