I’m going black when I rebuild the 5b, hpi chassis are clearly expensive, so a few thoughts
1. Get the original one stripped and anodised black
2. Buy a black Rovan one but....
Are the Rovan ones ok, strength wise and fitting ( does everything line up ok)
Also I’ve seen some longer chassis that are extended by 4 inches, are these common, from what I can gather the benefit would be it’s more stable when longer like a real car would be with a longer wheelbase, but getting a body to fit the same would be different, I guess with extenders and a longer chassis it’s going to be one huge baja
