Topic: Wheelbase

	How changing the wheelbase on your rc vehicle can affect handling.
		Measuring your wheelbase is done by measuring from the center of the front axle to center of the rear axle.
		Wheelbase determines how the weight of your rc truck or car is distributed over the axle, both front and rear.
		Sometimes wheelbase change will be so subtle that you will not be able to see or feel any performance change, but added to any changes of caster or camber could result in some very noticeable handling improvements.

	Wheelbase - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In automobiles, the wheelbase is the distance between the center of the front wheel, and the center of the rear wheel.
		is the weight on the rear tire, L is the wheelbase, c is the distance from the center of gravity (CG) to the rear wheel, b is the distance from the center of gravity to the front wheel, m is the mass of the car, and g is the gravity constant (approx.
		Because of the effect the wheelbase has on the weight transfer of the vehicle, wheelbase dimensions are crucial to the balance and steering of the automobile.

	THE NEW 2005 XJ LONG WHEELBASE JAGUAR RANGE – A FULL SIZE THRILL
		The 2005 XJ Long Wheelbase is a full-size luxury sedan with an even roomier interior, and unmistakeable Jaguar personality with abundant levels of 'get up and go.' With both wheelbase and overall length increased by 5 inches, and the rear roofline subtly raised 0.28 in.
		The New XJ Long Wheelbase is the natural fit for the Jaguar driver who enjoys the focused driving dynamics of the standard wheelbase XJ sedan, but who prefers the additional rear seat room, and the added opportunity of using the back seats as a travelling office or meeting room.
		In front, the long wheelbase versions's seats have multi-directional powered adjustment, and memory function for seat position, outside mirrors, steering column and adjustable pedals as standard, and the driving position can be fine tuned by reach and angle.

	2005 Rolls-Royce Phantom with Extended Wheelbase
		Two years after the launch of the Phantom and its rapid establishment as the worldwide market-leading super-luxury saloon, Rolls-Royce is pleased to announce a new Phantom with an extended wheelbase.
		Because the weight gain of the new extended wheelbase Phantom over the standard motor car is negligible, there is very little impact on performance or fuel economy.
		Customers in the Middle East and the Asia Pacific region have already shown particular interest in an extended-wheelbase model and it is in these two areas that the motor car will be first be launched.

	Aprilia Falco Wheelbase
		Unless you ride GP bikes for a living, you're unlikely to ever notice the secondary effects of changing sprockets and what that does to the handling of a motorcycle.
		What this means to us is that if the same chain is used and a sprocket is changed, substracting a tooth from either sprocket increases the wheelbase by 2.5 mm.
		We should first be concerned because there is a limited amount of adjustability in the wheelbase, given by the length of the axle slot in the swingarm.

	Jaguar Middle East - The New XJ Long Wheelbase (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)

		Combined with the agility and driving dynamics for which the new XJ saloon is already renowned, this makes the new long wheelbase Jaguar as impressive from the driver's seat as it is from the rear passenger seat, giving owners the best of both worlds according to their mood or requirements.
		The New XJ Long Wheelbase is constructed using an extended version of the innovative aluminium monocoque introduced last year when the standard wheelbase model (SWB) was launched.

	AutoWeb - The New XJ Long Wheelbase
		The wheelbase and overall length of the new long wheelbase car have increased by 125mm (5 inches) and the rear roofline is subtly raised by 7mm (0.28 inches).
		With the longest wheelbase and overall length in the premium segment, the New XJ LWB is comparable with the best-in-class for rear accommodation, offering a substantial 999mm of legroom and fully class-competitive headroom.
		Despite the increase in length, the XJ Long Wheelbase remains compact enough to fit into a normal-size garage, and can easily cope with the tight spaces of multi-storey car parks – its turning circle is just 34cm (13 inches) wider than that of the standard wheelbase XJ saloon.

	Wheelbase Definition - 'BentRider Online Forums
		As far as I've ever seen, wheelbase is measured from axle to axle, or from center of hub to center of hub.
		In general, a "short wheelbase" (SWB) bike has the cranks ahead of the front wheel, while the "long wheelbase" (LWB) bike has the cranks behind the front wheel.
		If the two wheels are of different diameters, then it is the distance between the vertical lines that pass through the axle centerlines (or where the tires touch the ground).

	Carpages.ca - 2006 Rolls-Royce Phantom Extended Wheelbase Preview
		The idea of the long wheelbase Phantom isn't new, as this vehicle was conceptualized alongside the original.
		Instead of cutting the vehicle in half and welding additional sections to create a longer wheelbase, which is the case for most conventional long wheelbase models, the Phantom makes use of exclusively made extrusions.
		Despite the longer wheelbase, the only new panels are the lengthened roof and rear doors, with the rest of the car using stock components.

	Wilshire Shaker - Altering the Wheelbase - Hot Rod Magazine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Manipulating the location of the CG rearward along the wheelbase and/or higher above the ground, shifts a greater quantity of static weight from front to rear as the vehicle accelerates.
		The lengthwise location of the CG along the wheelbase is also a critical issue in shaping weight transfer characteristics.
		The punchline is that altered wheelbase was born of necessity.

	RV Towing Tips - How long?
		Well, it's not really the length of the trailer that is as important as is the size (or wheelbase) of the tow vehicle trying to pull it.
		For these guidelines, you need 2 measurements, the wheelbase of your tow vehicle, and the total length of the trailer you are pulling.
		The wheelbase of the two are different, but their wheelbase to rear overhang ratios are almost identical.
