AIUI the trad chassis is nowhere near stiff enough to support a modern suspension design.



All they have to do is stiffen it up in the appropriate areas. I'm surprised that the current chassis can take what must be more extreme shocks transmitted thru it when dealing with pot holes etc with the weight of some of the engines with the current setup as opposed to what shocks would have to be absorbed within a more sophisticated set up.
