I am converting a mid engine swing axle frame to IRS with out torsions. Where I have rear beam "tacked in"(well I got carried away) right now I'm at 107" wheelbase. I think I would like around 100" but this would involve a lot of rethinking and work. My last buggy was only 94.
So what you guys think Is 107" to long?
Thanks for any help......

I'm pretty sure mine is 105". I guess it depends on where you ride. I don't think it's a huge deal myself.

Wellsville mostly, more wb will help on hills if nothin else!

With a cutting brake and a Water cooled engine you can turn one around almost anywhere. The best all round wheel base car I ever had was 108 and it rode like a Cadillac with 3x3 rear arms and some Fox emulsion shocks.

I love the sound a a VW AC motor but I can't stand the sound of the valve train.

Well that helps talk me out of cuttin up the little progress ive made on build
Thanks

No problem, thats what we are all here for. Besides my new car is a limo at 130 inch wheel base. I know thats really long, but man it rides like a dream with fox 2.5 coil overs in the rear and 10" fox 2.0 emulsions up front. With a mid engine you will have great weight distribution and it should climb well also. Good rear brakes are a must.

I will be at the hill climb event with the limo.
