the tvp is so strong because it transfers hits all along the vertical, but the flat plate won't do that. theres not enough vertical members to take the stress, so it flexes all over. i would not want to jump high and mighty with what you have there. a long top chassis plate from front to back and diff top screws would be a major help with that. thats what i mean about top plate. just as an example my e10 has a flat chassis, onroad, and the b10 is the same but buggy version, so they added a flat top plate over the center section front to back, and it's nice and strong. same as my SB academy buggy. and this is going to have more big wheels and stuff than a buggy. just sayin
