Wheelbase

What is Wheelbase?

Wheelbase adjustments are made by shifting the rear hub carriers either forward or back. The measurement is the distance from the middle of the front axle to the middle of the rear. It is usually adjusted by moving small shims from one side of the hub to the other.

How do you change Wheelbase?

Most of the time you want to have a mid Wheelbase; that is, the hubs in the middle. This will provide the best overall feel. Moving the hubs forward (shims to the back) will shorten Wheelbase and give the car more rear traction. Moving the hubs rearward (shims to the front) will lengthen the Wheelbase and give the car more steering.
