option #3 order a B4.1 chassis and cut it to lengthen' my current B4.1 chassis to +8......

what's my best option??

#1 is the cheapest, not that I care, but I'm not sure if CF is the way to go...

I'm sure Associated will release the longer chassis, when?? I don't know...

Your slipper is your friend as is your diff setting. You also might be running a tire with a bit too much forward bite and not enough side bite (Bowtie for example). Increasing anti-squat can help here too. It helps you rotate around a bit at corner entry and then gives you better rear/forward traction while accelerating. I've never been a fan of big anti-squat but its something easy to try.

and what about fronts? right now they seem to have enough grip but i don't know if thats just because my rears are so slick. Btw im running stock rtr tires. Thanks in advance!
