Grand Cherokee Scale Build

[jeff1986]

I recently purchased the Axial SCX10 and I want to use it to build a Grand Cherokee scaler, preferably the 99-04 body style. My problem is I'm having a rather hard time trying to find a 1:10 body for the project. Any idea where I could possibly get one? I'm still looking all over the place with absolutely no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

New bright made one but it's hard to find now. Try a wanted ad in the classifieds and see if you have any luck.

check at radio shack too. they sometimes have random rc trucks that would work

This is a good WJ build... Not sure if it will help you find a body but it's always nice to drool. I have also heard of guys finding newbrite rc stuff at good will or salvation army.

I have been on the hunt for a grand cherokee body (zj preferred) to build my scx10 with, but I have been unable to find anything. I know what I need to find, it's the finding it part that is tough. I have googled and googled for 1/10 scale grand cherokee bodies of any year and come up empty every time so far. I am going to start looking for them at goodwill and really start stopping by garage/ yard sales when its that season again, because they are out there, but you will have to search high and low for a while to find it I have settled on the proline cherokee for now, but I am already having the itch to change it up, and its only been mounted on the chassis for less than 2 weeks, lol! Anyways, good luck on your search, and if you find one, let me know where!!

I gave up on looking for a scale Grand Cherokee body after countless frustrated hours of searching and constantly coming up empty handed. So instead, I'm going to use the Pro-Line Jeep Comanche body and set of scale 1.9 Pitbull Rockers that I picked up from amazon.com. I might even swap out the rear links for leaf springs but I haven't decided 100% on doing that yet.

Don't give up! It took me 2 yrs to find a nip decender (tracker) body. Just keep that project on the back burner and with any luck, one day...

I'm not giving up completely on a Grand scaler, just the 1/10. I found a 1/24 Tamiya Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ model kit that I'm going to do instead. I'm going to use that for a micro scale build using the Losi Micro Trail Trekker platform. I did a little extra searching today for the 1/10 build and all I could find were metal die-cast Grand Cherokee bodies. I won't use die-cast bodies, too heavy.
