Yeah traction rolling happens very much so, when you run run wide long and heavier "Closed Wheel" bodies. A Typhon Buggy it is now. 
High bite tires will always keep her on the edge of a traction roll. So you must consider that also.
But the chassis will stay SO Much cleaner now as a buggy. Just Watch your temps however. Might need a good fan solution there now. There is much less air flow inside a buggy body. One trade off. Keeping the rear wheelie bar, if possible, can still be an advantage.

Yeah I think I have a spare wheely bar that I could chop about. I have a spare set of typhon wheels/tyres which I might also try.Yeah traction rolling happens very much so, when you run run wide long and heavier "Closed Wheel" bodies. A Typhon Buggy it is now.

Yeah the rest is all senton. How much wider do the typhon arms make it?
I also have a big rock and that is a lot wider than the senton
I took it for a spin with a cheap shell I got off eBay too

Here's a pic of the Senton and Typhon head to head. Very little difference. I doubt swapping out arms would make a difference. Typhon has 17mm hubs compared to 14 mm on Senton however so you would need to swap out hubs to run Typhon tires if you choose.

I’ve already got a set of Typhon wheels and the hubs, so easy enough to swap over.
I was surprised how much wider the big rock is!
