That gunna b a BEAST 👍
 
I was under the impression that Savage XL TVPs were 55 mm longer than the Savage X TVPs. Innovative-RC claims that their LCG Extended Chassis adds 1" in the back and 6 mm in the front. And 25.4 + 6 = 31.4 mm. So their LCG Extended Chassis will still be 23.6mm or nearly 1" shorter than the HPI stock XL Chassis...

I must mention I have ran into to the same issue with FLM chassis. Their LCG Extended Chassis is nearly an inch shorter than their LCG XL Chassis.

Perhaps others can chime in. I am after the XL Chassis because my trucks have FLN extended arms and I am convinced the slightly longer TVPs of the XL iteration can make handling easier.
 
Yes the XL chassis is 14/15" longer than the IRC extended chassis. Also u can change the width with an axle ends, they comes in two sizes, 8x11x42mm or 8x11x57mm long. Wheels from Prolines or Louise RC comes with two offset sizes too. Can't really tell about the differences in length that may effect the handling, but FLM Ext. Chassis do look nice with their ext. arms. If that's not long enough maybe a 5T 1/5th chassis will do, it is almost 21" long!! lol

Mugen for me, but all would look even better if they were fitted on a nitro rig,Lol! 😂🤣
I was planning to do that, but I wanted to bash the nitros and the wing won't survive that.
The flux have the wing cause I'll be running them on pavement only. Beside, installing the wing will
require the FLM stock tower as the stock plastic one won't work.
 
I kind of like the first wing tbh.. but how durable will it be? Seems to fit the whole vibe your going for better to me.
