Mine's definitely a street (and maybe sometimes track) "buggy" Shadow. It'll look more like a Can-Am race car under the skin - tube chassis and mid-engine. Anti-roll bars and wide low-profile tires are definitely part of the equation.
One interesting thing I discovered while going through the multitudes of geometry variations, as the (static) RC was moved up the bump+roll dynamic RC movement became less and less - to the point of essentially no RC movement at all - but with a RC height at 6-7" or higher! Everything I've read suggests keeping the RC closer to ground, generally 1-3" high or so, so that's where I put it. But watching the dynamics of RC movement in all the different variations sure was interesting - and informative. One thing I definitely learned - if you're going to design your own layout having a computer program to model it on is pretty much a must-have tool.
