Re: 6WD Chassis Stiffness vs. Maneuverability

294's base for 2007 and 2008 (along with the 2007 summer prototype) were all extremely stiff by the nature of their design. All had 3/16" of center wheel drop, and were all very maneuverable (in the hands of a good driver; I didn't make the 2007 base look great). I hope this provides some anecdotal evidence for you.

I think your idea of stiffness changing the manueverability makes a great deal of sense.
