| Dingo "seed" truck/ bodies on Dingo chasis
ordering a dingo as a rig I can use to get others into rc. I want to have 2-3 bodies I can swap out so a potential newby can pick something that resonates with them.... any ideas as to what is a direct fit without moving things around.

Cherokee XJ would probably be most popular.

a popular body for the shorter 11.4" WB is... either the Tamiya Hilux styrene body... or the less costly RC4WD Mojave Hilux body. just an fyi... ...the Tamiya and Mojave bodies are interchangeable with each other for most everything that bolts on/together. ^ each share the same external dimensions. other differences are... ...the Tamiya Hilux is officially licensed. ...the Mojave Hilux is not. ...the Tamiya Hilux will cost nearly $ 200. to obtain new. ...the Mojave will cost about $ 100. to obtain new. ...the Tamiya is only offered in white styrene. ...the Mojave comes available in yellow, primered gray (yellow) and white styrene. ^ the purchase cost varies slightly with the available choices. ...the Tamiya has the early round headlight buckets... ...the Mojave has the later square headlight buckets. ...the Tamiya has raised "TOYOTA" lettering on the tailgate. ...the Mojave does not. ...the Tamiya Hilux has a shallow bed. ...the RC4WD Mojave has a more deeply recessed bed. ...the Mojave can be purchased as a near complete body kit. and it comes with a optional full rear cab wall, if a bed is not utilized. it also includes just the rear window if the bed is utilized. ...the Tamiya Hilux does not offer a full rear cab firewall and only comes with the rear window option. It may also require purchasing additional parts trees to complete the full body build. ---------------- I purchased the white styrene Mojave body. But my Honcho's wheel base is 12.3" sooo... I gotta stretch the Mojave body's wheel base to use that on my 12.3" wheel base. ^ styrene model masters have no fear ! Lol |

I run the same dingo wheelbase and the bodies I have/used so far are the Proline k5 blazer, I believe it was a PARMA Chevy c10, a hummer H2 hardbody, a Chevy 2500hd full cab hardbody, another proline Chevy body(year of truck was 2002 I believe), and currently I'm running the Proline Jeep Wrangler 2dr. All fit the wheelbase perfectly except for the 2500hd - Richard |

The camera does not pick them up it's pretty scratched up. It's rolled about 150-200 ft down the side of a rock face , but it really has not been used much either. The tires are not even rashed yet. But that will change soon enough | |
