Time for a few more questions :)

Must say that this truck is tough! Been doing some really silly jumps with poor landings. High speed turns that went wrong - resulting in some serious tumling action. Backflips with poor landings. High speed wheelies... with subsequent crashes. AND IT STILL LIVES!!

However... it seems that a standard Savage with XL tyres and the big hobbywing system is build to crash. The turning radius is somewhat huge and it flips over if im not really carefull during high speed turns. Also it wheelies/backflips like mad.

So... I have been looking at the XL solution for making the wheelbase wider. What are you guys experience with that? It seems to me that the bearings will be seriously punished in that setup - unless the wheels are perfectly balanced. Would that be an option to make the turning more stable?

Ive also been looking at that FLM conversion chassis. Looks sweet... but will it help my truck handle better? EDIT: Ive been looking but cant seem to find the ansver: What is the maximum battery dimensions in that chassis?

One of the other guys have a brushless revo en route... so to prevent him from going in circles around me I really need to enhance the driveablity of this thing... raw power and silly stunts wont cut it anymore ;)
