| How do you measure wheelbase???
I just bought a body on herre that showed up today.... from this ad... http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showt...light=cherokee now, the ad clearly states "Ive have a hard body with a wheel base of 9.5". " While I might have a cheap measuring tape, I'm pretty sure its fairly accurate....so the question needs to be asked.. how do YOU measure wheelbase?? I have always been told its center of a wheel opening (or wheel center to wheel center).... am I right?? Just wanna make sure I'm not a total tard before I get pissed... lol What would YOU read that WB to be? Last edited by 4drmopar; 08-08-2009 at 03:48 PM. |

Center to center...just as you think. I see that as 7.5" to 8" due to the angle of the tape. The seller must have measured from the total extent of the wheel wells (extreme front to extreme rear). Not how you measure wheelbase though :? |

id say its about 5"-6" wide, i was about to buy that body, but it was going to be to small. It might be a good scaler for some 1.5's but nothing over that i would think?
