Default clearance issues resolved

Hey. This is sort of off topic. I was thinking about purchasing one of these and was wondering if the extended chassis would help during bashing.

It helps your suspension work better but you tend to hit your trans more. but overall its worth it.

I'm trying to decide if the buying a wheely king and extending it then getting a better motor setup would be worth it or if I should just get a stadium truck.

Thats exactly what i did untill recently when i made a new frame for mine. It is worth it for the money. Ive only spent about 300 total on it so far and i love it.
