And can I get a few finish dimensions, such as Wheelbase, length, width, and height?

For now, we can keep all info in this thread.
heres a link to that guys zuk. im sorry i would copy and paste the pics but im a little swamped at work.

Scotty's LWB Samurai

thats what i would want in a scale body. anybody who really wants a normal wb zuk could just do some trimming. i have a normal zuk in real life, and would trade it in a second for a lwb.

I had a few PM's asking if I was going to copy Axial's Trail Ranger body. Here is my reply, just for clarification......

I will be pursuing this project, but as our (company's) design. I have no desire to copy anyone else's work.

It will be a Sami body, and not a trail ranger. I joined the discussion on it so I don't miss the little details that will make this a very nice shell.

Here are some reference pics of my old sammi as a tin top and then the soft top body I put on it.

Toyota axles, 8" coil lift, 36" swampers.





35 mtrs and rocker damage.


Trying on my buddy's 44" boggers.

im in for a few. i really need a body for this beast:

would really like it really scale, with good stickers. not too hard to chop up though. and a reasonable pirce. i think a removable tintop would be cool. really glad you guys are getting involved in this.

For now, I appreciate the input I have received on this project. I have another designer busy on a smaller project, so I can focus on this over the weekend.

I'm in. I have a 1:1 tin top. Remember the proline descender body (sidekick) with its comp cut rear? I would love to see a 1/10 tin top with comp cut so the wheelbase could be flexible. Please!!!!!!! Might be a good compromise between swb and lwb.

They're still doing the Dingo and that's as much a Defender as the TR is a Zuk.

(I used to have an SJ410 Tin top.)

And an In process of one for a friend...

I'd buy a trail ranger or some thing alike it in a heart beat. Pretty much use half of it for a Vancouver Island spec'd scx-based tuber.

Right now I don't, but I'll see what options there are once this one's done.
