Stretching a buggy chassis

[Toolman]

I am in the process of converting a MP7.5 to a truggy & wondered how much to stretch the wheelbase by? The way I’m going to do it is by bolting CF plates top & bottom to the chassis & moving the rear gearbox aft about 1” or so. Then make up an adapter to so the driveshaft will reach. :hammer:

Does anyone happen to know the wheel base of a Lightning Stadium for example?

Thanks

Tim.

OK Thanks,

If my stock MP7.5 is 328mm & the Stadium is 14.5" (369mm) thats a stretch of 1.6" (41mm). That might be more than I can easily do, but it gives me an idea at least. :hammer:

Has anyone else tried to stretch a buggy chassis?
