Suspenion design varies ALOT between manufacturers- some brands are rather spindly looking, others are built like tanks, literally, so no chance of them falling apart in all but the worst crashes. I wold look in the buggie section and see what you like- as for lipo trays, you can always modify or replace the stock item; looking at the Vorsa above, you could put a longer tray in the stocker's place, then relocate the esc above the center diff for example- that doesnt have the biggest chassis ever I must admit. Look around though, lots of research to be done before getting too despondant....
