A) what's the benefit to handling of a +8mm chassis? Also what are the benefits of a std chassis?
B) what is the benefits of a avid slipper clutch?
C) any none kit parts you wish you bought straight away, or could afford?
D) are low profile high speed servos a good choice or do they lack the torque needed? I'm thinking sanwa sdx-801 or futaba bls-551?
E) any advice for carpet running? Tires, or anything I might not know? I've never ran an off road car.
Thanks a lot !

C) CF rear tower and a good steering rack. I broke 3 towers before I got a cf one and the steering rack broke leaving me unable to race that day.
E) dboots or shumacher mini pins all around. I'd also suggest a gear diff for carpet. You'll also want a pretty stiff spring selection for carpet. And last but not least, be prepared to traction roll alot the first time you run carpet. And of course I almost forgot, run the car in mm4!
