Getting ready to build a new crawler

[bvitale]

I need some opinions. I just got myself a set of TLT axles in a trade and I want to build myself a fun and capable crawler. I know I could by a chassis but there isn't really much fun in that. I would however like to ask you some chassis questions.

I want to make a chassis that will be capable but also keep a somewhat scale appearance. I was thinking of making the chassis end over the axles pretty much. I am also thinking of running the Pro Line 80 Bronco body. I am guessing that is a 11.5" WB? I can't find it online. I am going to use an old RC10T tranny that I locked out with a 55T motor. Front steer only. This is going to be for recreation only. Not interested in comps.

So here are some basic questions.

What is the standard width of the chassis?

What is the standard hight of the chassis plate?

For tires I want to get the Rock Crushers but they seem really big. Would they look silly with a clod body and or the bronco?

IF I get the R.Crushers should I go 1.9?

Those are enough for now. Thanks in advance to those that reply.

Later,
Brandon
