I dont know i really like the look right now of the stock chassis. Besides if i get the extended chassis it will be fairly close in size to my full size crt . It will be like having 2 crt's. The tires hook up very very well. I was riding wheeles for at least 10 15 feet, on 2s lipo.
I got my warrenty MM from castle today . I set the lvc to 6.2 just to be safe sinice im only running 2s 8000 lipo. It runs great & very cool. I was running out front & it was dark, but light enough to see. I must have ran at least 15 -20 min or more. Then the wheel feel off & i couldnt find the wheel nut. So i got my flashlight & started lookig but no luck. The neighbor kid was on his hands & nees looking for it in the dark & he found it. so i put it back on then i let him drive the car for about 10 minutes, he was very excited to say the least .
Finally got the body mounted -

Well I had some time and finally got the body mounted on my ext CRT.5. I had to get some larger/longer body body mounts and modify them...turns out that I was not able to use the truggy wing.
I hear you. I tried a number of different methods and just couldn't get the wing to fit with this body. To do it over again I would stick with the stock body...although it would be a tad too small...it would have worked with the wing.
I've had the same cool running results with my Novak GTB and 6.5 (5900kv) combo (46/12-13 gearing). I'm running truck tires (2.2 Panther Switch Clays) and driving really hard on an indoor track. Lots of throttle and up to 20 min. runs (4800 2s lipo). I don't get any heat. The motor is warm (no heat sink), but definitely not hot. What I do notice is a good sized area of the chassis, around the motor and motor mount, gets a bit warm too. It seems the aluminum mount and chassis work as a large heat sink.
