	I think for general stability - torque at the wheels is a factor of wheelbase. And for turning, center of gravity and weight distribution would be factors as well... because you're looking for a static equilibrium. Bottom-line - I don't think there is a set 'wheelbase to track width' ratio that is used as a basis for design, but rather the ratio is 'derived' as a result of the totality of the design. __________________ Reuters - Investigators found that the recent thread derailment in CR4 was caused by over-weight creatures of lore and request that membership DON'T FEED THE TROLLS.

	You mean, you don't use a tape measure yourself and want a load of anonymous strangers to do it for you, then? No. I won't. Life is too short as it is. __________________ Good moaning!

	Turning in which direction, pitch or yaw? Very low ratios allow for totally gnarly wheelies.
