Personaly, I would go with an 18" WB chassis to run XL's. I put them on my 17" because the LHS only had 1 pair of moabs and I didnt want to wait for them to order more. So, I just bought the XL's

I just got my setup up...17 1/2 pimp cane, clod axles, 45 turns, rc guy steering setup, moab 40 series w/ axial beadlocks. Should be good but im waiting for some of this stuff to come in still. Ill be running a regular 6 cell stick pack on the top front of the chassis right over the axle. If i mount it on the axle it would hit the steering links. If this doesnt work ill have to get custom made packs. The only thing I cant figure out is how to mount the body?!?

What I tell Customers is if you are running XL's go with a wheelbase around 17 to 18in...If you are running Mashers or Standard Sized Moabs go with 16.5in Wheelbase. Standard Moabs and the 16.5in Wheelbase is the winning Combo of last year.... |

17" to 18" is the ticket! I took 2nd place in warcrc's last comp at 17" with moabs. Its an awsome chassis and great combo with those tires.
