Capra+Bronco Body= Bronco Truggy

[FoxHatfield]

ok so here's my thought process, im going to get a TRX4 bronco body and chop the back end to let the rear cage of the capra stick out, too make a Bronco truggy.


thoughts? suggestions? opinions?

The TRX-4 Bronco body is huge and it will swallow the Capra. Just making sure you are aware of that.

This. I wish I still had my Bronco so that I could show you a picture of them side by side.

I dont see that working well. But in for the pics, could be cool.

If you like that era of Fords, but intend to hack off the back anyway, why not just start with a cab? This would still be huge, but it's cheap, so you wouldn't feel so bad hacking it up! https://www.ebay.com/itm/Rc-Crawler-...XoKaCPxqP4ucYw

Capra is 3/8" wider on the track and 1/4" longer on the w/b, comparing mfg's specs. Some serious standoffs would be needed to mount the body, along with shorter links somewhere. If I recall, you (Jato) still have the Bronco, right? With a little creativity, could it happen? I just can't see hacking the TRX body, for what that is worth, they are pretty thin because of the long draw, so finishing it off would align with Jato's insight/comment.

Big difference here is that the Bronco body is not only huge in general, but it is more importantly also so wide that it practically covers all of the extra-wide Canyon Trail tires when viewed from above.

The Capra viewed from above doesn't even hide the axle housings, much less ANY of the tires.

The TRX-4 body is going to look mighty peculiar with a Capra back half poking out - like a tadpole.

Yep, I still have my Bronco body. I'm too lazy to dig it out and set it on the Capra for photos.
