Need sugestions Body for High lift

[eortizr]

So, I want a new body for my tamiya high lift (hilux), and want to know what other bodies fits in this chassis. I like the HPI Rubicon, does that one fit?

Thanks

The rubicon will fit perfect WITH some offset rims. Its a little wide. Besides that its a good choice. The bronco is the best fit with stock axles. Then the land rover fits pretty good also. (All hpi)... I put the hpi land rover defender 90 on my highlift and its a little wide but I have tlt axles.


With stock axles and a off set rim the rubicon is bad ass. On the highlift/hilux frame.

I have a bronco body on my highlift with some 2.2 swamper tires on there and stampede rear wheels on.

I made custom body mounts to hold the body on.
I used velcro to hold the body on because I didn't want to used body post, so it looks more scale.

Ok, so I bought the Rubicon body from HPI, now I need bigger wheels,,, I think the slash wheels will work for that, but the other thing that bothers me is the aligment of the wheels with the body, its a bit shorter... is there any easy way to move the rear or front axel about 1 inch so it match perfect.? the other thing that come to my mind is to cut the chassis and extend it a bit. what you guys think?

thanks

And this is the outcome, now I need bigger tires,,, so what you guys thinkg will be a good wheel/tire combo?

Thanks

Haha it looks like some guy that had the money for the lift kit but not wheels and tires lol. No it looks good I like it. But ya you def. need some 2.2s now. To keep it scale I would use the rc4wd rock stompers, idk on wheels
