Default Jeep JK bodies

Other than the Proline 1/10th body anyone fitted anything different?
Was thinking the Proline 1/8th may be made to fit, 8" wide to the flares so maybe a good fit width wise and wheelbase is good also, not a fan of the stretched look of the 1/10th one.

I am with you on the 1/10 bodies.
Might be worth the experiment....kinda looking for a new body anyway.

Should be able to make the new Yeti JK body fit. More of an u4 style JKish jeep.

The 1/8th fits!

Its tight around the base of the screen so will have to protect the paint on the inside, and also work out what to do with the front bumper, the shell meets up flush with the frame there so the stock plastic one won't fit. Minor trimmimg on the rear arches needed, otherwise a good fit

Awesome! Thanks for sharing. Keep the pics coming. It looks great already, really interested to see it finished. Does it look like there will be a lot of rubbing at full flex or is it possible to narrow the track width enough to tuck the tires? Either way, I'm definitely doing this to mine. Like you, I can't stand the way my 1/10 body looks way too short.

Looking at it again, have you thought about taking the cross brace at the base of the A pillar and cutting 1/8 of an inch off of each side? That'll give you enough clearance that it'll still be snug but no rubbing. Just a thought.

I have trimmed the arches so there is no rubbing (see last photo) front & rear bumpers need to come off, will make a steel bumper up for the rear at some point

Just placed on the Wraith to harden off. Got a bit of bleeding under the masking tape but most of it cleaned up

Turned out reall nice! I like the look of the 1/8 body vs 1/10 body.
Thanks for taking the leap.

Dear SCRW,

that is a nice one!

I was thinking about the same body for my Axial SCX10 (custom frame, custom length), but I'm not sure about measures of that body.

Could You kindly measure for me exactly following dimensions of that body?:
1) width of body itself - without fenders - only body
2) width of body with fenders - front fenders
3) width of body with fenders - rear fenders
4) length of body - without front and rear bumper - from front mask to rear door

Please excuse my English, I'm not a native speaker
Michal
