Would also be cool if it has the option for the rear shocks, in front of the rear shock tower. And this option was compatible with the eb410.
How about a kit to make it a lighter shortcourse, for indoor tracks where the sct410.3 is to heavy? Longer chassis, drive shafts in the middle and body mounts?
Just ideas.
More balanced? I'd say the current chassis is pretty balanced, it's ~51/49 F/R. We have no plans of doing a layout like the MIP or B64.
As far as the shocks in front of the arms, most of the handling characteristics people like about that mod have nothing to do with the shock location. Most of what they're feeling is coming from the wheelbase change, the bone sweep, and the higher roll center (from both camber link length and the height). There is also the angle or lean of the shocks front to back that changes, but you can do that by keeping them on the rear. Having said all that, having the option to move the shocks could be something we do in the future on a version update. That's a ways off though.
SC - the possibility is there of course, but most people like our current SC because it's very durable. A version based off the 410 platform will never be as durable as one based off the 8th scale platform. I don't know if the demand is there for that style of 4x4 SC.

You should be able to get the EB to rotate pretty well. It might have just been certain corners were a little slick in the video. The ET has a ton of steering though. SC trucks have a pretty high COG and are more prone to traction rolling, could also be setup differences.
