Yes, he liked the standard length better indoor for the first outing. We were comparing more than tuning, but it's very possible that the +8 would be a better choice (at least on a larger indoor track like ours) with some tuning. We'll be back at the track next week again and will start trying some stuff out.
What do you feel made the CF chassis better indoor compared with the std chassis? I am a little confused why the switch, if all things being equal other than CF vs Alum, made such a huge improvement. Seems like the flexibility between those 2 materials would be similar so is there any other differences in the chassis that I am not aware of?

I'm sure weight has something to do with it- the cf chassis is roughly 50g lighter. Cush had plenty of laps on that track with the aluminum chassis and he felt the cf car could be pushed harder- the edge of handling was higher. I could see from where I was watching that it jumped smoother and was less sensitive to missing downsides and landing flat, and didn't chassis slap anymore. If you were local I'd have no problem letting you try it out to see how it feels. I can honestly say that this was the happiest he has been with his cars since he got them, and the 210 is the car that made him really enjoy 2wd buggy.

And assuming that its not even longer. I tried putting a T4 chassis on a B4 once and it was too long to be roar legal. As for the weight, I'm not sure but it's gotta be close.

A; st chassis in not available yet
B; based on A, how do you know the comparative flex characteristics
C; weight, refer to A
D; better in what regard

R u guys running a shorty?
Do u know your full running weight with the new std chassis?

The ST chassis is too long for the buggy, by quite a bit. I've been testing a +8 composite chassis from TD and it's been very nice indeed.
