yes sir, it is! if you look at the pic above of the jk chassis. it does the same. flat at the front and curved in the rear. figured I would take a short cut by turning the chassis around.

I shortened my NB JK body to fit the stock scx10 chassis ,I wanted a Brute ,,I got lucky and found some paint that matches pretty close , I have two NB JK's and like them both ,,This one is a Wroncho conversion the other
is full length with the xr10 steering ,,They are both great running rigs ,,,I like what your doing with yours ,,
