Default Some FOFF Questions

HI,
I will build a Foff. But at first I have some Questions.

1.Which Chassis is better?

BWD Whiplash 13.5/12.5 with Ax10/Scx10 Axles
or
An Chassis with Wraith Axles? Does it works with 14.5er Whiplash?

It think Wraith Axles are little better because, they´re more wide than Ax10.
I will drive on sand beaches at the Elbe in Germany.

2.And which Chassis is better? The 12.5 or the 13.5 Whiplash?

I hope you can understand my English

Might want to contact Don at BWD to make sure the Wraith axles will work with his chassis but I'd go with them over the AX10 axles for the width. As far as the length, might want to check with him as well. Seems like the longer wheelbase would be the ticket if you're climbing some really steep straight climbs, if you're looking for maneuverability go with the shorter wheelbase. If you're going to be running on the beach mostly I'd go with the 12.5 wheelbase.
