Default Super cheap leaf sprung rig

Anyone know of a super cheap rtr or maybe rolling chassis that is leaf spring all around?

I'm talking like Gearbest or Banggood type cheap but with leaf springs. I'm fine with plastic chassis and such since I'm not looking for a trail truck, just little indoor runner thats more fun than a static model.

What I have currently is a original tamiya hilux body, 1.9 Gmade wheels turned down to 1.7's with 1.7 king of the road knockoff tires. I'm looking to make as stock looking of a hilux as possible so low height,skinny tires on "steel" wheels etc.

Options I have thought about but $$$ is too tight.
1.Gmade Sawback
2.HG P407 <--- love the chassis and axles but then need to mod for 12mm hex and lower height + upfront cost of body that I could later sell.
3.HG p407 chassis for $40 then add cheap-o axles to it. Not bad option but by the time I buy even the cheapest of axles and springs your up into $140 and just getting to roller.


If you dont know of a truck that fits perfectly what would you piece together to get what I'm looking for?

I bought one of the hg p407’s. With one of these truck you need to upgrade the steering servo and lock the axles and replace the speed control with one that has a crawler mode. They are cheap enough that it don’t make you feel as bad when you take a drill and grinder to it during mods.
