Depends on what chassis you are building and what you want the wheelbase to be. More info from you would help.....

None of the above axles are for a super. You want Clod, TXT, Raptor, ect....axles. Some guys even mod EMaxx's into supers. Your best bet is to go with Clod axles. They can be made bullet proof! Ton's of after market support!

Chassis.....The "NN", Hustler, The Stick, DMG Super Tuber, Mantis, ect.....

Look in the Clod forum for ideas, TXT forum, Maxx forum.

I run a Reign K2-3L chassis with lower links that are 8.5" long from eye to eye, and 8.75" long uppers. It's got a 17 3/8" wheelbase and I run a littler shorter tire than most supers. I use a Proline Moab XL tire reduced to fit Maximizer beadlock wheels.
Clod axles are the best; Redcat and XTM make supers that can get you going but their suspension and chassis designs leave alot to be desired.

The wheelbase on supers is limited to between 16" and 18" for comps using USRCCA rules. There are no width requirements or tire size limitations right now.

Here are some good builds to get you reading.
