yea, this is a bit confusing... the numbers here are different
to the existing spec rules. max track width of 1000mm not 965mm
(although measured from a different place, so they equate to
roughly the same), and max wheelbase of 1800mm not 1676mm.

I would add that the 'Builders Guide' referred to above is a
document put together by one of our members which contains lots
of very useful information for a builder but it is a guide and
should not be interpreted as a rule book. As noted in my
previous post, for the current rules/specifications refer to the
'Start Here' section of this forum.

Chris, without your link I was not aware there was a rules
section. Not the easiest thing to find, or is that just me ?
Not trying to rewrite the rules just making it easier to find.
Take my post down if needed.
