I was planning on the lcg chassis, but don't think I'll go for the extended......or do you think I should Serum? The longer wheelbase would definately help it handle bumps and jumps on or off the track, but would hurt break-over angle (think: coming to the top of a hill, the way that the hill pokes out and if you don't have the clearence you'll just scrape) moreso than the regular length one. Tower puts the stock wheelbase at about 13.25", they put a Hot Bodies Lightning ST at about 14.5".........the Lightning ST is the longest wheelbase I know of right now.

Anyway, the extended plates look like they'd bump the wheelbase by 1.56" longer (basic conversion just by staring at a ruler to see what 40mm equals), so with the extended plates my Savage would wind up with about a 14.81" wheelbase......that's long, real long. My rock crawler Clod runs a 16" wb, would the Savage look freakish at all being that long? I know wheelies would be a thing of the past, but I don't get many right now anyway, it'd do solid launches though right?
