Bronco hard body scaler

[mcrawlinslow]

I picked up this sweet bronco hard body from my buddy blakeski, i am pretty excited about this truck, it will be a simple build nothin fancy but think it will be a fun little scaler when its done

this is how i got the body and i didnt like the top so i started off by makin a quick new cage for it, i will probably build another one with some more time put into it but this one will do for now



and the new top!

I like that body. Look forward to the build.

im still up in the air on chassis and tires, i have a scx chassis sittin here and axial axles, or i just worked a deal on a trail stomper chassis with leafs n trex60 axles, and i think the pits are a little big so i will have to look into some different tires maybe

Open to suggestions as im still in the planning stages with this thing!

I think growlers would look great. Thats a sweet body, wanted a hard body bronco for awhile now.

[mcrawlinslow]

its been a while but i have done a few things to this, i picked up a new trail stomper roller from a local member and shortened the chassis last week, and today i made the body mounts.
Now i just need to mount the electronics and make bumpers, oh and decide if i wanna leave the body painted this way or sand it all down and make it pretty again

and not for sure yet but this may have to get moved to the 1.5 section, but i just got some 1.9 tsl's and im gonna see how they fit

Good looking rig, I think it's screaming for a set of 1.55 rock stompers!

Oh, and I think you should sand her down and make her pretty again!

[fr8cture]

i had stompers and they looked a little small on it, and i think i agree on repainting it, trying to think of a good color scheme, been googling pics of 1:1's lol

For some reason these old bronco looks great in a teal/ aquamarine blue/green with white trim

edit- like so,

The new cage looks good. The older proline sx tires look good on it. If you can lower the body and over drive the from that thing will go anywhere.

[mcrawlinslow]

i did a little tinkering on the cage today with my 5 min spare time i had before my kids birthday party lol
so not much of an update but its something

I am not a huge bronco fan but this one looks pretty good so far.

I think Broncos are BA, I've never seen a hard body version before. Looks great.

[scale4x4]

I dig it!

From the looks of it I would guess that it is a old radio shack bronco mangler body. They did these a while back and they pop up on flee bay once and a while.

That's a pretty cool body, never seen it before. Nice job on the tube work, looks really clean and simple, love it. What tranny is that you are using?
