I have an MFM, and I recommend it because it is very adjustable. Not the best scale looking one, but it is good. Has lots of holes..

What wheelbase do you want? What axles are you going to run? Droop or sprung? Leaf springs or coils? too many variables to give a good answer. The BB51 is very nice (I like mine) but it won't work well with a short wheelbase (less than 10" or so) because the tranny skid is too long. It also would take some work to make it work with a leaf system. Check out the scale shop in the vendors section, they can make you just about anything you want, apart from having several prefab designs. Also stangkillaSS is people to deal with.
