Hey silly question but if I did try a not +8 chassis on the tight carpet offroad track do you think it would be beneficial to rotation? Or am I giving up too much stability and it's going to be too "darty"? Is shortening up the wheelbase going to reduce or improve rear grip?

the shorter the wheelbase, the less stable it becomes. the shorter chassis will be harder to drive but you might be able to get more rotation since its smaller. i do not know how it would affect traction though. It would probably reduce traction. but dont quote me on that.

Did Maifield not run 2wd mod at the JC race? Because I have no idea who those guys are on the podium besides Dustin.

It was a hack fest. Took five starts to finally get a good one.

LMAO, there was no hackfest, he didn't break, and I don't believe there was a restart for the Mod buggy A main (might be mistaken).

The only locals that even made the A were 8-10.

Maifield was running with some fast guys. That's all, no excuses, no hacking, no nothing.

Alex K beat him out in one of the 4WD buggy quals as well, but blew a rear diff gear in the main.

Evans was on RAILS, Alex K held off Maifield for 2-3 laps, then Alex M took over 3rd. The Alex K/M battle went on from about lap 3 until the end of the race, allowing Evans to check out. Absolutely PHENOMENAL racing from all involved, as the layout was very difficult.
