Default replacement bodies for the LOSI MRC

I would love the D90 Land Rover, any ideas where to get that?
I have seen the "convertible" model, but I am looking for the hardtop Camel trophy style

I could live with the Toyota landcruiser style, or a bronco but REALLY would like to get the Land rover.

Well I finally found the right body for mine. Its the new bright jeep rubicon. It looks great on the lil losi. I've started a build thread in the 1.9 forum.

Not really what you are looking for, but 2 more options for others

I have the Jeep one in my garage.
WB about 7"
Width 3.5"
Would that fit?

Thumbs up

well I ordered a d 90 convertible body the other day. I figure these have the same type of SCALE as my RC TUGs I can take a hull of a given length and by changing the superstructure I can change the scale {the boat becomes LONGER OR SHORTER to scale by the change}

With the "1/18" scale tube rock crawler could actually have several different lengths in the real world, whether it is a V8 type or the smaller rear drive VW type, 1 seat, 2 seat or 4 seater.

now if the D90 body has wheel wells that match the LOSI it would change the "SCALE" from the 1/18" to the 1/10" {or whatever it is} truck.

Some of the rock crawlers have wheel bases way outside the bodies they have on the truck, good for competition but not real scale.

comments, thoughts, etc.....

It's good if you are building a scale rock crawler. Scale doesn't have to be stock.
The Losi Bronko body and the PTI Jeep body look great on the Losi MRC. I bet the Duratrax Cliff Climber body looks good too.

the ones I was talking about are the ones with a truck body that is real small and the wheels are in front and behind the ends of the body:-(

Losi Bronko

I think it looks scale to the rigs I posted above. The PTI Jeep looks even a bit more so. With 49" and 54" tall tires on trail rigs nowadays, scale takes on a different meaning imo.
