| Tamiya Unimog 406/Scx-10TR
Getting ready to order, among other things, a Unimog body 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! |

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?

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? |
