Back into hobby - TRX 4 kit question

[nvbm65]

Getting a TRX 4 kit, want to replicate my JKU, beside Proline, who else makes scale bodies out there? Any direction or what forum to search would be appreciated, looked in the Traxxas but didnt find much related to JKU in my search - thanks!

The kit version has the standard 12.3" wheelbase, so any body that fits an SCX10 will fit the TRX4. Proline makes the majority of crawler-specific bodies, but JConcepts and others have 12.3" wheelbase bodies.

Thanks Jim, looks like the kit has adjustable wheelbase up to slightly over 13", thinking about one of the RC scale bodies on Ebay, like the detail, any experience with those?

I recently saw a Rubicon 2 door body mounted on a scx10 chassis and it looked badass. Very detailed hardbody with interior for maybe 50$ off ebay or aliexpress. The 4 door versions (I don't know my jeeps but I think that's what you're after) costs a bit more. 12.3 in wheelbase.

The problem I encountered with the ebay JK hard bodies is that the interior does not clear the transmission without extensive cutting of the floor. Proline recently released a TRX4 version of their JK body which works well with the 12.8" wheel base.

Also, spend some time reading in the TRX4 specific section.
