Quick change front ends for the RC10's?

What do you think about a quick change front end on the RC10?

I made this years ago thinking that if a racer had a few front ends set up for different track conditions (Diferent shock oil weight, springs, tires) then it would be a matter of one plug, and three screws to change them out.

Servo mounted between the shocks, but behind the bumper would add weight to the front end - better traction in the front?

Your input?

Looks pretty inventive. It appears to raise the center of gravity a bit though in the current configuration. With a micro servo and a fiberglass tower, it may have less of an impact on handling over a stock setup.
