Most scale TJ hard body I have seen yet  What's that wheel base sitting at? Looks pretty short. This thing is gonna be sweet! Some sliders, a mean front bumper and some black fender flares and this thing is ready to hit the rocks!  |

The more I look at it, I think I need a smaller tire, I have a set of HPI stock car wheels that seem too small to glue 1.9's so I'm thinking a set of 1.7 tires with a smaller outer diameter might be better. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk |

| Re: Barbie hits the rocks....  If I go with a smaller tire, I may need to trim the interior to move the transmission higher, looks like I can go up about a half an inch before the motor hits. With proper servo placement and the small battery I have on order, I shouldn't have to amputate any barbie legs Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk |

These are the mockup tires and wheels http://m.banggood.com/HOBBY-MASTER-1...-p-942852.html I'm currently running them on my HG P 402, they are really good for the price. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk | |

Status update: I've been eyeballing an MST CMX for a long time so I decided to pick one up to see if Barbie could make it work.... Turns out the mid motor is even higher than my mockup so it's a no go since my wife wants two Dolls to sit inside so I ordered a MST CFX for Barbie to try out.... P.S. MST needs to send bearings with the kits... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Last edited by spaceman5280; 04-02-2017 at 08:53 AM. |

| Re: Barbie hits the rocks....  The initial CMX was without a body so I got the CFX with the bronco body cuz I've always wanted a Bronco. The Bronco body will go on the CMX and Barbie gets the CFX. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

| Re: Barbie hits the rocks....  Body off, I had to shorten the shortest WB links by about 10 mm to get the wheelbase to match and the rear shocks had be relocated to clear the body. The plan is shorty battery between the rear frame rails and put the rx and esc under the seats. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

| Re: Barbie hits the rocks....  Moving the front axle back meant clearance issues with the slipper shaft even with a low profile servo. I pushed the axle forward 2mm and it still hits. I will try a little more forward movement and then trim the end of the shaft for clearance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
