I think the FJ I had was right around 10-10.5 inches. Not everyone has a 12" wb.

I think that many of the comp-rigs that look scale are in the 12-12.5" range... Perhaps that is what he has seen?

I can take more shots. Just tell me what angle you want. I'll be more than happy to do it.:-P It's just sitting on my workbench.:-( Haven't had that much play time lately. |

http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/7953/cnc1kv5.jpg http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/3451/cnc7th2.jpg id like to see the proportions of the body. so many of the 1/10 TJ hard bodys are wayout of scale, teh NB one seems to be spot on though. do you know which version youi have? or what the box looked like? | |

Thanks. I crawl with someone who has access to a laser cutter. So I got those made. They really pull the look together.
