Easy to revert back and part out if the mountain turns out to be too steep to climb.
Having tried this, I disagree. I was 2+ seconds off the pace on a mid-to-high 30 second course. Wider wheels/tires and real suspension get you most of the STX gains. Power is important, but useless if the chassis can't slice through the course like a knife through melted butter.
