In theory yes, but it prolly won't work 'cause the sway bar is too stiff. Best thing is to get rid of the sway bar all together and put springs in instead.

Don't Glue it

You have the right idea but you can't super glue it though.

The mini rc cars is only so heavy, the sway bar is actually pretty stiff. In theory the sway bar is for making sharp turns so your car doesn't shift too much in a real automobile.

The cars don't have too much ground clearance as it is so suspension honestly really doesn't matter too much since you're not jumping off ramps.

The car would always bottom out.
