No, for the trails I do, the wheel base is perfect. I do alot tight trails with alot of high center humps and tank traps, and what not. plus it's long enough to do steep hill climbs with out flipping. Plus moving the cab and motor back this thing is going to rock, plus the power of the 3.0 ahaha it's goin to be awesome. When I go to the coast to do some trails I take and post some videos, and pics. There some narly trails and alot steep hill climbs.
