Default K5 body comparison

Anyone out there happen to have a selection of the K5 bodies available to post up side by side comparison shots? I keep seeing the trucks by themselves and can't help but wonder what they look like compared to each other for detail and size. I know some are going to stand out like the rc4wd being a hard body. If I missed any let me know.

I think the ones out right now are as follows but could be missing some.
73-91

Traxxas 1979 K5
Vaterra Ascender 1986 K5
Gmade Buffalo K5 (86ish)
RC4wd K5 (1976?)
Pro-Line 1980 K5

69-72
Traxxas 69&72 K5 (they just change grille\bumpers correct?)
Axial 1969 K5

This would be a cool comparison photo. I currently only have an unpainted Vaterra K5 and the RC4WD version.

I can picture what I don't like about each of them in my mind but would be cool to see all of that nitpicking in one place lol

Not much help but a while back I took this one. Do you need to know anything in particular? I have all three bodies somewhere still and could take detailed pics next to each other.

Hope this helps, it's my understanding that the Gmade body is a clone of the Vaterra body, not verified but what I've heard.

fxman, kincer- that is perfect thanks! I was just curious of the overall look compared to each other, reading dimensions doesn't really tell the story like seeing them next to each other.

The Vaterra Blazer is wide for sure. The wheels on my scx10 chassis/axles tuck nicely into the fenders. Should drive it more often actually :-)
