wow, never realized how large that body is. will look good once you extend the frame a bit.cant wait for more..Peace James

AeroSynch · 01-29-2009, 02:18 PM

Thanks guys. I only need to extend the wheelbase and that's it.

4xfloored · 01-29-2009, 02:52 PM

how much do you think you will need to extend it.. I was thinking about the same body but different paint

AeroSynch · 01-29-2009, 02:58 PM

I guess ~1.5"? So that is 3/4" on each side.

MiddleT · 01-29-2009, 07:30 PM

I have the same body. I want to see what it looks like first with just the links lengthened.

I wonder if the frame will look too short?

I'll let somebody else experiment for me! ;)

Well, I can tell you that I need to cut away at the interior, but the chassis fits nicely.

i have a feeling you might keep this one longer than 2 weeks

They came with the kit, and are really smooth.

Oh yea, definitely more than 2 weeks. The brushless and SCX10 combined = My Dream.

I think I will extend the rear only seeing as the front can't be extended more since the servo will hit a cross member. So I need new rear links and extending the driveshaft.

axman2010 · 01-31-2009, 10:11 AM

Hey what are the lengths on the lower links on these?

crunky · 01-31-2009, 10:20 AM

Well, the link tube itself says 91mm, so I would say around 131mm end to end with the rods?

They are in time out.

Back at Scale really, but under control.

good luck

Thank you VERY much 93'wrangler for the links!

TheHeadHunter · 01-31-2009, 03:55 PM

cut the back doors off , make that body two door IMO , if you extend the wheelbase the wheels will look too small to the scale ...go to the scale section and check some body cutting down stuff

MiddleT · 01-31-2009, 05:36 PM

2.2 wheels an tires may be what I will go with on mine. 1.9's will make it look too much like a stock jeep with 31's on it, IMO.

I hate dinky tires and wheels on jeeps!
