I wonder if that wood box acts as a battery door. That would be pretty slick. Only misstep is the coil over suspension, but that body looks fantastic. I'll just need ebay to send another one of thos 20% off coupons and I'll own one. Good find! Sent from my SM-N970U1 using Tapatalk |

That's pretty cool. If the quality is good, which is my concern, it has the potential to be awesome.

That looks like a nice body and very close to fitting our typical 1:10 scale parts.

Is it just me or does it look like it has a 3 link with panhard? Sent from my SM-N970U1 using Tapatalk |

| Re: 1941 Jeep super scale in 1/6 RTR by RocHobby I think you may be right if you look at the underside pic further down I can only see 3 links in the front.

The specs are giving it a 324mm wheel base, which is 12.76", a 1:1 MB Military has a 80" wheel base. At 1/6th scale, that's 13.3", so this model is actually a tiny bit bigger, somewhere around 1:5.75 scale. Having built a few of the Hasbro 1/6th-ish scale Jerps, this new one is big! |

Too many people preordered (know some from German forums). Now it is marked as "sold out" and the price raised by 20 $ ;) Walter |

I just realized it's 4-link. No, no, no...this should be leaf springs for sure! Who's buying one and doing the conversion?

Any known axles that would fit underneath?

| Re: 1941 Jeep super scale in 1/6 RTR by RocHobby Seeing that its 10 3/16" and most 1/10 scale axles are in the 9"-9 1/2" range it should just be a matter of some wide wheels or hubs to make up the rest. Capra lists a width of 10 1/4 but then you've got portals which isn't the most scale fit for a flat fender. Whats the width of an XR mod axle anyone know? |

Is that outside wheel to wheel or axles? Roughly 260mm then. The AR60 is 245mm hex to hex. | |

I was thinking AR60 as well, but they arnt any more scale looking and are not particularly know to be super robust. On a side note Hrozon Hobby distributes FMS aircraft. It will be interesting to see if they pick this guy up Sent from my SM-N970U1 using Tapatalk |

True. Once upon a time there were many scale and beefier options for the ar60. | |
