Default Racing chassis?

I've seen on the net pics of lower cg chassis for the savage x. But they are all marked like 2006. I saw one company that made a carbon kit that lowered and stretched it!!! but can't seem to find it again. Are these kits still available? All I can find are those stock dimension integey knockoffs. Looking to run truggy, am I out of luck?

I havent seen any CF sets in a while but low CG stuff still exists. I dont race but stretching the length wont make it harder to corner?

The one I would get: http://www.innovative-rc.com/standar...2afa1c1ce363d2

the low cg tvs's only stretch the length because it puts the center dogbones level with the ground. So its only like a 1/4 inch longer if that

If doing a mid-tank conversion is something you want to do then the plates i suggested are made with that in mind.
