what looks "very stupid at the moment"?Looks very stupid at the moment, time to drop it, maybe gear it up a bit as well

Sorry, carp post content on my partwhat looks "very stupid at the moment"?
How does stretching a Typhon change the handling characteristics on road? Would it help with stability? I did a truggified build and am contemplating doing a stretched build. Just wanted to ensure that they’ll handle different enough to justify having two Typhons!As long as you have a receiver with AVC, the Typhon makes a great parking lot basher. With a little modification, Kraton chassis, rear brace and rear drive shaft, plus Kraton hubs at all four corners, the buggy becomes a street warrior

Stretching it gives it good balance and better stability. Mine is truggified and stretched so the wheels are pushed out as far as they can be side to side and front to back. It allows a little more tolerance for side to side movements so it's less likely to roll if things get squirrelly at high speeds and keeps it from flipping backwards over small bumpsHow does stretching a Typhon change the handling characteristics on road?

Interesting. I guess I won’t really know until I give it a shot myself!Stretching it gives it good balance and better stability.

Frig me, just bought mine at the LHS for 8 bucks a set more. Just ran the Mojave today with the Hoons on a 20 tooth pinion, damn was that fun. Forgot to bring a gps unit with me so not sure how the speed was but it just spins those things at any speed so likely didn't matter. Might try in the snow tomorrow if the street isn't too busy***IF U ARE IN CANADA AND NEED HOONS, CONSIDER GETTING THEM OF AMAZON. ( $33CAD FOR 2 )***
Hah. I was thinking of getting them from my LHS but they sell 41.99 a pair! ??. OUTRAGEOUS! Gonna get a set of GRP's thoo..Frig me, just bought mine at the LHS for 8 bucks a set more.

Longer the wheel base, the better directional stability at speed. For a speed running advantage. Straight line running.

I'll take that bet! This is just one exampleGet an infraction, I would bet money a Typhon couldn't keep up on the street same smiles per hour and dollar for dollar. I love both my Arrmas. Glad I switched this year from TraxxA$$.
