Anyways, I had a look at the 1/6 scale chassis you linked to. WB is only 18" and I need to go to about 22-23" to fit the body correctly. Design is basically the same, although I plan to use thinner al for the tvps and brace it so that it is lighter and stronger than a thick tvp chassis would be.
HPI quotes 22.5". Edit: The stock 5b-5t a-arms have some caster built into the a-arm mount so wheelbase will vary depending on ride height. I built my revo with 22.25" and it looks fine. Definitely keep it light and with as much weight as low as possible. My revo ended up with more weight up top than anticipated and likes to get up on 2 wheels, on the street and grass anyway. BTW I'm at 12.5lbs without the body or mounts.

Can't wait to see how yours turns out. I put my MMM combo back into the buggy until I can at least lower the battery and maybe add the kershaw extension kit to it. And maybe that 10s ESC!
