The distance between the front and the rear axles on a vehicle, motorcycle, or bicycle In a few cars (e g , Renault 5), the wheelbase is longer on one side of the vehicle
Distance, center to center, from front axle to rear axle Wheelbase is important because it indicates available body length and weight distribution between front and rear axles
The distance between the front and rear axles of a car A longer wheelbase gives a bit more stability, but a shorter wheelbase gives quicker turning and better acceleration, because the weight of the car is closer to the wheels (in relation to the long axis) All HPI sedan cars have the same wheelbase, while the Super Nitro RS4 has the ability to change its wheelbase with about 20 minutes of work
The measured distance between the centre of the front axle and the centre of the rear axle Wheelbase is usually simplified to two main categories: short wheelbase and long wheelbase, but medium and extra-long configurations are available on some makes and models
The distance between the centers of the front and rear wheels on a motorhome If a motorhome has a tag axle, the wheelbase is measured from the front axle to the center point between the drive and tag axles
