The chassis length is your OPINION. Daimon just got 2nd at the Jconcepts Indoor Nats, and of course Steven used this length to win the worlds. The chassis length is tuning option and there happen to be quite a few more benefits with the longer car over a shorter one, and the new center gear diff the car is more hooked up than ever! So I wouldn't be so quick to condemn it before it is even out. It is easy to say "oh, this is the same car we've already had...etc", but I assure you it is not!!
