Tamiya Unimog 406/Scx-10TR Getting ready to order, among other things, a Unimog body :twisted: Been wanting one a while. I've searched around and can't find much info about mounting the body up. The truck is basically stock, nothing major whatsoever. What will I need to change to get the body to fit? I'm not crazy about doing it, but I'll probably want to use body clips, which means drilling through the body... Anyways, I know there's some fellow 'Moggers out there! Please do help! :mrgreen::mrgreen: |
Most are mounting just the cab, as the wheel base stock is very short. No matter how you mount it, pins, screws, etc, its a little tricky. Plus if you cut off bed you will nedd a new bed that will require fabbing up also. Depending on how low you want bed, you will also have to deal w relocating or remounting rear shocks. Do a search, theres a few good builds using these cabs. |
Yeah I've seen a few of the builds...most as you said are just using the cab. I was hoping that was just by preference... So the body is too short or the truck is too short? |
I mounted the rear shock towers i took off the rear and put them on the front section right aftor the front chassis arch like so. i took some body posts and bolted them to the holes in the towers http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/w...221102101b.jpg Here is the link to my 404/406 Hybrid build i did using the cab off the tamyia. It should answer all your questions on how i did my mog. if not just ask and ill try to help you out:ror: http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/axial-scx-10/269540-gottorques-404-406-mog-build.html |
Thanks for the info guys, I was hoping this would be something simple to get the body to fit like adding bigger body posts or something, oh well. Glad I didn't order it lol, had the order screen up all day trying to figure out if it would fit. Already ordered wheels I thought would go with it well, I'll just have to find something else that they'll match. Will anything else Tamiya work on the scx without major mods? |
I just put a unimog body on my scx-10,you will have to make the WB 10 1/2 and cut some off the back of the frame. |
