Default Comp worthy Supers width & wheelbase
What outside wheel width and wheel base are you liking on your Super ?

Do you see a performance gain from 12" to 14" wide

Is 19" to long

16" long and about 14" wide, could do with a bit more length though. Remember, what works for us won't necessarily work for you.

18.5" and 14" wide and it is very comp worthy. I believe a 14" track width to be more stable and lots of room left to make the gates.

Thank You Very Much guys

Yea I know what works for you may not work for me. Most likely you can do 14 narrow with clod axles and side hill better than a 14" wide shafty

I needed that reasurance

Narrowing my maxx-revo-thing to 14.5 and making my new Super 18 x 14.5

Are you asking if that is the wheelbase? I'm pretty sure that all these guys were talking about wheelbase.

I'm building a Super Class Crawler, according to the rules you have no restrictions on wheel base or track, however, in 2.2 your wheel base must be no longer than 12" axle center to axle center.
What I would like to know is what wheel base seems to be competitive for Super Class, or what overall length is competitive? :-P

not sure how many of the above Supers are Comps but
you have read the feedback
there all 14 to 14.5 outside wide and 17 to 18.7 wheel base

I'd say if you have something in this measurement it's all up to your ESC, suspension and Driving, I'm sure DIG helps a bit to

Naw, 18.75" just feels short, I think an inch or 2 will help this rig out alot.
