Kind wonder if longer wheel base and outter weight displacement will causing drawback in such track.

Thanks.
Theoretically a car that transitions quickly would be desireable for a track like the one you describe. The reason the Yokomo works so well for me is that it is less reactive and easier to drive. I also have a Hara conversion which would have to be considered the opposite design philosophy for an asphalt car with it's batteries in the center. The car doesn't handle as consistantly for me. I think you have to try both to see what is best for you.
