Reinforced subframe

Does anyone know why revo went and reinforced the front subframe. Their website states that turn in is greatly increased.

cuz the stock subframes are just stamped steal, with some bits being very thin, and in some places have partial welds


a stiff subframe means stiff suspension mounting points, which means no deflection, which means when you turn the car turns and there is no delay or vagueness
