Has anyone used this body on a scaler? Saw one at the pawn shop today and was thinking about picking it up.....from the looks and size of it 2.2s would fit perfect....

the pawn shop wanted 60 bucks but it was mint, and came with a few hats, a 45, an axe, shovel, 4 men, a jerry can, and a spare......it even has gauges and the shifters for the tranny and t-case

i picked one up a few years ago at target for 20 bucks, although it was formitive intl, not hasbro. i also have a 21st century one i bought for a 100, but the difference in price is in the quality.

If it's 10th scale or close I could see real possibilities for that style and vintage Jeep.

5150 Krawlers · 07-17-2007, 10:32 PM

having owned a few tlts, Im almost positive it would be perfect with a 12 or 12.5" WB, and the width is almost right on...its a little wide.....I may pick it up next week and throw some WK axles and an r2 under it for fun.....and the tires are very near the size of a set of narrowed mashers

Thorsteenster · 07-18-2007, 04:00 AM

keep an eye out on ebay, you can find one cheaper.
its 1:6th scale

Stormin2u · 07-18-2007, 07:31 AM

Thanks, I'm goint to get a ebay search going today, My uncle in Wyoming had a hunting Jeep just like that. It gave me a push toward a scaler project...

Thorsteenster · 07-18-2007, 01:25 PM

here's a mock up of mine from a couple of years ago. originally i was going to use a wild dagger since it was easy to stretch but since finding this site, it will have txt axles and a boyer frame.

this one looks alot closer to 1/10th than it does 1/6, the tires and wb was almost dead on 2.2

Stormin2u · 07-18-2007, 11:37 PM

The scale is good.

I'm watching a couple on ebay.

The 21st century ones have more scale for sure. Higher cost as well.

Thorsteenster · 07-19-2007, 04:22 AM

the 21st ones are nice though, i bought one to do more of a scaler, and now with the WK axles out, i think they'll fit the bill.

Stormin2u · 07-19-2007, 01:47 PM

So you thinging WK axels are the best fit?

I have a set of TLT axels extra I was going to use.

I'd also like to see simple roll bar/ windshield / with a spare tire mount.

Maybe a little exo bar work as well.

Thorsteenster · 07-19-2007, 02:26 PM

tlt axles i think you'll need spacers to get the best looking fit. also i'm thinking Wk axles for the overall scale appearance over the tlt axle.

Yeah, You'll need wideners unless you use rims with serious offset
