What's everyone's wheelbase

[billstoy]

There is a rule of thumb larger tires the longer you can go a good area to start 90" with 35's to 120" with 44's . that is a ball park. some things can vary like ride height and belly height.. wheel base works to clear belly snags. flat belly may run longer. Both of mine are 110" one on 42" and one with extra belly clearance with 38" with the 38"s. I may go to 108" If you had access to scales you may move front and rear in up or back to get weight ratios where you want. Some may argue ,,
Just my 2 cents.

My ranger is 115 on 42's and works great . My buggy(under construction) is 115 on 44's

about the same here. had an s10 on 42s at 117 (worked great). new buggy will be same 42s and probably 116-117"

Mine is 125 inch with a 21 inch belly height. LOVE IT ! Super stable ,low center of gravity works awesome.Of course this is my first buggy, prior was a tall truggy that would keep you busy trying to keep it upright.LOL.Believe it or not I do miss the sound of crunching body panels beating off of trees.

That sumbitch is lookin good Marcus!

118.5" on 39's here. Was at 113" when I bought it, like it better now, although turning in tight trails sucks donkey balls.

My current rig is 120", 44" rubber, about 15 - 17" belly depending on where you measure. Its got rear steer so its manageable. But I do have to be careful not to get hung up in rock gardens. Insanely stable on side hills and steep hills though. I've done u-turns and parked sideways on hills that most other rigs roll down.

My next rig will be just as low but shorter, also with rear steer. Probably 110 - 115".
