Default Scale question...

I'm looking to build a scale leaf spring rig but the body i like is a 1/10th scale 10in wb body...

so my question is will this work? will i have problems with a tranny(xxx or stealth) or drive shafts because the wb is going to be only 10in?

i also want leafs so will the juggy leafs be out of scale?

i've pmed diaz about making me a 10in wb diaz chassy and he said he could but i don't want to get in over my head on a project if it isn't going to be scale...

input please...


thanks

This thing only has a 10" WB and uses Juggy leafs in the back. Works just fine.
