garnold, on stretching the wheelbase,,,I did not add any length to the frame in the front, I just moved the front axle forward 5 inches from the stock position. On the 106 build I added 3-7/16" to the rear of the frame using a piece cut off of an old frame. Then I moved the transaxle back 3-7/16". The reason I chose 3-7/16" is because I just bolted the front mount in the rear hole,which moved it back 3-7/16". Then of course, the drive shaft and brake linkage had to be 3-7/16" longer. On the 100 build, I moved the rear axle back 2" and made a new driveshaft and brake linkage 2" longer. All this to use 27" tall tires and to get a "cool looking stance" and to get more leg/arm room (I have long legs and arms) (not to make it go faster)
