| Injora Cherokee Back Half Body
I'll admit, I'm still pretty new to the crawling world. I picked up a Redcat Gen8 and started playing and adding a few upgrades. Now the wife and my oldest son are interested as well. Put together a SCX10.2 builders kit with a HH Crawlmaster Sport 540 13T and a Hobbywing 1080 ESC. I picked up one of those cheap Injora Cherokee half cab/half cage bodies, but I really couldn't find anyone else bragging or complaining on them. Maybe they are a bit too new? Anyway, I thought it would be a cheap option to let them bomb around without crying over beating up a hardbody. A couple of other pics for interest.

I've got that same body on order as well. It's on it's way here on the slow boat from China, so I should get it sometime next month. I'm in the process of rebuilding a 10.2 I picked up and will be using that same orange truggy body. This will be my first hard body. I know the full Cherokee body is pretty decent, based on the people that have posted about it, so I'm hoping this body will be ok as well. I'll be keeping an eye on this thread to see if anybody that already has one, has any feedback.

Well, at least we're in this together! I know their AliExpress page lists it as a "new" item. I just wasn't sure how new. I'm thinking of just using a magnet kit to mount the body right out of the gate. I converted my Redcat to magnets and it's so much easier.

I plan on doing magnets in the front and maybe some kind of hinge set up in the back, so I can just swing the body up to access the internals. It normally mounts directly to the frame, so I'll see what my options are when it gets here.

One thing I don't understand about the Cherokee back-half body... A Jeep pickup is a Comanche, not a Cherokee - and it should have a lower back to the cab. Where's the part from behind the doors? Their full truck body is also referred to as a Cherokee Pickup instead of a Comanche, and doesn't have a separate bed, either. Team Raffee and a couple other Chinese companies also sell this confused little truck. I suppose it's just a lack of research on their part - seems as if all the Chinese Jeep pickup bodies have the same issue - they look like they are made by cutting the Cherokee SUV into a truck, not based on the real Comanche.

Just pretend it's a chopped up two door?

| Re: Injora Cherokee Back Half Body I realize it's just a plastic body, but on the one with the caged back half, it really loses a lot of its appeal with that huge section just "gone"... Otherwise, I'd be interested - it's a great price for a hardbody cab and cage, and looks especially good in that orange with the black roof. |

| Re: Injora Cherokee Back Half Body That would be nice but 2 door cherokee doors are longer than 4 door cherokee doors. So a chopped up 4 door cherokee or Comanche (same front doors as a 4 door cherokee) is more likely. Imho is body is 50% nice for some details that a hard body gives but also 50% crap with all the misses it has to been a scale cherokee. Will say there are parts out there and enough filler these look really good in the hands of some of the scale masters out there. |

Agreed on the body "misses". Even when they mate it to a regular bed, the bottom edge of the rear glass section doesn't mate up properly to the bed lines. Well, it's something to tinker with and maybe a winter project. For now, it will cover up the chassis while my wife and boys do their best to bash it into things. I'm dialing down the max forward and reverse speed on that 1080!

Got mine a couple of weeks ago, but doubt I'll get around to assembling it anytime soon. Think I might put it on the TRX-4 Bronco pre-roller chassis I've had stowed away since last year. Last edited by johnnyluv; 10-04-2019 at 05:01 PM. |
