Default Scale Wrangler frame?

Anyone know of any scale chassis available that are similar to the design of the wrangler frame? The Diaz Btrail is very close, but I think the wheelbase is too short for the HPI Rubicon body I want to use. Basically I am looking for 12" WB frame where the frame arches at the axles, but levels out at both ends after the arch, which I have yet to see other than the Btrail.

He might make a custom length for you.

if you are willing to make your own you could talk to EtypeR who built this Jeeps are silly, the 1 week build i have seen it in action and driven it and it is a great chassis. it is also a droop chassis. he built it from some pics or blueprints of a real jeep or something like that. i just may take a little welding and metal bending. i think he said he may possibly make a few for sale but dont quote me on that. make sure to look at the whole thread.
