Technically it's a unibody. As long as the sides measure 3 inches it should be good to go. Hi-tops yes, flip-flops no. I can't believe we're really talking about this |

Think about it! Why not? there are lots of shoes that are very lightweight. Would have a bit of resistance or "suspension". Most people already have shoes so making a new purchase of a body, chassis, links, shocks, etc. would not be needed. I'll give it a whirl too! | |

Hmmmmm...........Do I smell a new crawling class? Despite not being comp legal, flip flops would be cool too. Much lower CG. |

It is a torsen type chassis, and I must admit, was pretty impressed with the flex. While needing a longer WB, it would be suited better for MOA setup being the trans was hanging on about everything. Keep an eye out for v2! |

You really put your "Foot" down on this build. Talk about "Kicking" ass on the rocks. Hopefully it "Runs" better than it looks, because that boot looks like it stinks. |

Hm, being mine are a US size 12, I didn't measure the WB, but I'm guessing to get a 12" WB I'd need atleast a 14 or larger.

A guy I work with wears a size 15. His shoe measures 14 1/4 inches heel to toe. (Yes I measured his shoe.)
