I see a lot of talk about huge wheelbase on these cars. Give it a try
At least on our clay indoor tracks most guys no matter what brand car they run where all switching back to stock length chassis's from the +8 styles that a lot of companies are making. Even when I ran my Tamiya TRF201 the stock length chassis was so much better than the +8. Going really long would seem to make the car more numb feeling overall which would be ok if I was on carpet racing but not as much for dirt or clay. Stability is not a problem with my car as I run it now with the stock alum. chassis. Mine is pretty close to as short as I can make it so far. Feels pretty neutral on the track.
