I would guess longer upper and lower links would lengthen it. You could probally widen it with adapters.

depends on just how long you want it to be. Factory its 8.5 inches, which is max comp legal length. You can widen it if you want with some wheel wideners, and some longer C's, but here is what I recently found out when running with MrEd. His wider rig had a hard time getting into, and out of some of the tighter places. While I'm sure a wider rig is more stable and less prone to flip over, you are also going to lose your turning radius, and your more likely to get hung up on rocks because your tires are pushed so far out that it leaves alot more space under the chassis. just my .002 On the other hand tho, MrEd's rig did do exceptioinally well. Could have been driver skill tho. |

I made mine wider with the 2mm wider hexes. Not a lot wider, but it is wider. And I lengthened mine out to 11" for my scale build with longer links and modified driveshafts.
