Default Need ideas

Well I need some ideas on where to go with this project. The F-350 looks awesome with the full lights and hardbody but its just not ideal. The wheelbase is too short and im just not happy with the droop setup. As it sits: 10.5" wheelbase, droop with Revo shocks, Novak brushless setup with stock radio.




Anyone know of any similar F-350 bodys other than the Tamiya? Dont want to throw that kind of cash at it.

Bumpers front and rear would help. And maybe some rock sliders, and some things in the bed.

Sorry guys I meant for a different body, this one is just too small for what im looking for. I have bumpers and sliders for it but the super short wheelbase is killing me.

Edit: With a flatbed I could lengthen it maybe... Ill have to look into that Blaine

Here is a better shot of how small the body is with 1.9 Flat Irons

I cant go lower with the body because of electronics and cant go lower on suspension unless I can figure out something different for my chassis mount servo.

Sell it and look for something that has proper wheelbase!

unfortunately No of the toy R/C's lately have had any good bodies. the latest has been the JK but that is very played out. even the tamiya bodies are on the small side, save the hilux. I know where you can pick up one of the 1/6 williys bodies cheap, and they are a perfect fit for a 12.3 wb honcho and Flatirons, or even 2.2's

This^ Ill probably keep the body around since I have quite a bit of work into it, might be able to use it on a project someday. Thinking a Bronco might be in the future for this chassis
