Default First time build (TUBER)

Hey guys, I am new here, and I posted in the newbie forum with no response, so I thought I would try here. I am just getting into crawling, but have been into RC for about 15 years. Over the weekend I build up a tuber after doing some looking around on here. Let me know what you think. it will be clod based, and I imagine a super. From the plans that I drew up and worked from it will have a 17" wheel base. Too long? I am not really going for a comp rig. Just want to have fun around my house and break some stuff.
Here are the pics

at work now, but it measures in just at 15 inches. Too long, or will it work? I can always cut some out of it in the front and back if I need to. I was goung more for a buggy look, as that is what I know best
