Designing a build around Yota axles. Ideas?

[TooOldForThis]

So lets say you're me. You have a rolling Gelande II chassis and you're thinking about starting a custom build. Minimal fabrication, mostly collecting and combining parts not necessarily meant to go together. Selling the whole thing and starting from scratch is an option, but I like the Yota axles and was thinking about using them as a starting point.

So starting with Yota axles, what would you do? I could also re-use the Gelande drivetrain, so we're mostly talking chassis, suspension and body. Scale appearance and novelty are more important than crawling ability.

Thoughts?

Those are basically 7” axles. I would look at the hardbodies at Walmart, Target, Tractor Supply, and Etc for something. I’ve got a stalled and stale D90 build that needs something fresh to get me motivated again. These are the ideas I’m tossing around.

that's what i plan on doing with a rear yota axle ;)
nobody makes a (retail) solid axle drifter!

(before reporting me to the mods, riddle me this: what size is a 1:10 touring car wheel?)

I'd keep everything and build this

I seen this body on eBay complete with interior. It would be perfect.
