[Overdriven]

I wish I had checked in here over the weekend to answer your question about going shorter than 5b length. I stretched out an e-revo to use a 5T body, and regret going that big. Being that long, and wanting to keep good ground clearnace, doesn't make the handling all that great. It isn't total poop, just feels too lazy + slow to react to inputs, too hard to get it to slide and do what you want. Its just not quite what I wanted, and I know it would be alot better just a couple inches shorter. So personally, I'd go shorter and save yourself the regret of not doing it while you had the chance.

Like Chadworkz said, a shorter chassis also opens up body options a bit, FG, MCD, redcat, duratrax, even some 1/8 (LST, MGT, 3.3 revo) might not look bad on it. But just the cage look will be really cool too.
