    Default Wheelbase

    What is the wheelbase rule for FST. Tried to download the gcr,but files are to big for my ancient computer.

    Default Wheelbase

    Rafael,

    We added two inches to the FV rule. Makes more room for larger drivers, but not enough to make any performance difference.

    The FST rule is 81.5" to 85.5" on wheelbase.

    Bill,

    Would you happen to have a measurement for the distance of where the beam bolts on like the evolution fst to the center line of the front spindles? (that is where the front wheel base is measured from correct?)

    Terran,

    I think I understand the measurement your looking for...... mounting surface to axle/spindle centerline ? It's the same as FV (kin pin beam), about 5.5".

    Are you contemplating something

    Quite possibly I've been having fun in my drafting class and we are about to get into CAD within the next couple of weeks and was thinking about using the open lab to see how good I am and try to come up with something, like maybe a FST chassis

    Nothing set in stone just thinking it would be fun, if I do come up with anything good i'll share it and see what people think
