8 1/2"s from center of wheel well to center of wheel well

The more anxious i get about the RTR gettin here the more I realize this samurai body may be a wee on the short side. Any how got the rims in so did some more work, and yes my real zuk I took tire paint marker on the lettering cause I think white letters are still cool :flipoff:
Alos yes I tend to spray paint alot of crap on my real zuk to thus the colors so yes it is to my scale:

Well got me some panduit to make the inner fenders, along with afloor board, and my jerry can mount. Do some more trimmin here and there and see bout some paint. My RTR sent out the 6th UPS here it is the 20th and that's just to cali, then it has to make its way here to JAPAN Patience for mail here drives me nuts

Are you going to make your own chassis?
You may have a difficult time reducing the Dingo 8.5".

Have you considered using a Losi Mini Crawler?

Yea buddy got my snorkel mounted and antenna, just a wee bit of touch up left

Still waitin on the postal system:cry:

got some headlight buckets mounted, my jerry can mount mounted, and now makin some fender wells"thumbsup"

found my co driver

Lookin good! I had a real Sami that I'm building a dream 1:10 off of too.

There I was still waiting for my Dingo a month later :shock:

this should be a cool build
