S  O  R  R  Y  for helping "de-rail" your original question, seriously.   To try to help:  If you are considering a racecar for the Nova chassis, you will be able to find several different bodies to use it under that were "close" to the same wheelbase (you can always google search the vehicle wheelbase of the body) and with a little "modeling skill", you can "adjust" the wheelbase on the Nova chassis to fit.  Look forward to seeing what you build.

DJ, you just provided some technical info.  As I see it, this thread went off the rails way earlier with this statement from Mike:  "I think a Nova's real wheelbase is 111" on the left, and 114" on the right, with the differenct built in to the rear axle. That's how you get that sweet ofset (Beagle) tracking."

I would be interested to see a rear axle designed with a 3 inch offset.  Where do such ideas come from?
