here is the body mocked up on an axial based TTC.



My TLT based truck isnt to the point of being able to mock the body up. I compared this body to my HPI TJ body and it looks to only need to be about 3/4" wider to be right.

One distinct criteria I am looking for: Is there a nice comparable unit on the market presently?

The EB we came out with fit the criteria , simply because there weren't any other bobbed EB buggies with an integrated cage.

Hey Kurt, what about doing a narrowed Blazer? Proline makes a couple styles, but I know I would buy one that was narrowed.

Here's the start of my new TTC! I'll get a build thread and better pics up tonight. Also think the width is just right, you still have plenty of room for seats. Even with using an Axial tranny.

I love old school Blazers. That would complement the bobbed EB nicely.

That TTC rig, and Rockthrasher's freshly painted red project really look nice.

No not really . . . Now you see my frustration. . . I think I have seen some 1/16 scale rangers but not in the body style I am talking about. . . I just thought I would put it out there

I would definitely but a few of those too Kurt. Love the idea of them being pinched and dove tailed already.

79 Bronco for sure. My dad had one when I was a kid and sold it before I had a job (I would have bought it) or a license. I have been wishing for the 79 ever since I got into RC crawlers
