Does anyone know the differences on the frame width & wheel openings & wheel base if any from a 3100 and the 3600


Some people are like Slinkies, Their not really good for nothing... But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

Don't have my books with me, but in general, the 3100 frame is tapered all the way back, and the 3600 frame matches the 3100 from the front to somewhere under the box, then the rails are parallel. Wheel openings are the same, as they use the same fenders. Wheel base is (I think) 9 inches longer on the 3600.

Hope this helps.

My other ride is a (B737)no, (B767)no, A320.... Update... was Embraer E190, now Boeing B787.

Knowledge is a wonderful thing, but ignorance means you don't know you can't do something.

THE WHEELBASE ON A 3100 IS 116".Wheelbase on 3600 is 125 1/4. My book says 3100 has 46 1/32 max frame width and 3600 has 36 max frame width.
