The 1:1's have a slight front taper. Ive seen a few of these built on IG and they look spot on in proportions. Figure mine will be here in 7 business days or so. Hoping the cab will mount up to my Flatbed yota with ease.

I realize they have a very slight taper. I had a 1:1. It just looked especially extreme in those few pictures, maybe because of the angle. The others with it assembled looked perfectly in scale. I can't wait to see some builds with these.

I would like to be added to the group buy list if available. Thanks

I'm a little late to the party too but if the list is still open I'd be in for one!

Just paid for the shipping a couple days ago. Shouldn't be long now.

There was a box within the box, much more unwrapping than I thought, so it'll be a few hours before the video review is ready. Will be worth the wait.

Can't wait.. ended up ordering mine on ebay.. should be here late next week.. So pumped about this build!

[fr8cture]

Wow $30 more from eBay.. Hmmmm

[ChickenSashimi]

Yeah... I considered doing the taobao agent stuff, but it was a bit more black magic than I wanted to deal with, so when the ebay equivalent came along, (Basically just a state-side fellow with a friend in China ordering on his behalf) I figured what the hell. At least I have ebay and paypal buyer protection.

I really didn't want to build just another Pro-Line cherokee. That body leaves a lot to be desired.. especially now with this one in the wild.

[fr8cture]

Yeah just wonder if saving the $30 is worth the trouble of going through a agent.

[ChickenSashimi]

That's anyone's guess I suppose.

Chances are, this body will be easily accessible though various sellers this time next year, but early adoption has its price.

I was going to buy two and flip one when it got here, but in the end, I just got the one.

[ETM]

It's all Supply and demand, I've pay way more on stuff just cause I want it now look at food and snacks in ball parks and theme parks. It gets Crazy

[fr8cture]

GCM Unboxed one.

To you that are worried or scared about agents site, there is no voodoo or black magic. Just a middle man site that deciphers the language barrier for non Chinese speaking folks for a small fee. I went that route, because at the time, there was no other option and I for sure wanted the body. Also, a single kit is roughly $140 shipped, with the agent site fee. No one has ever made this hardbody in this size, I would have paid $300 for one kit.

[spoo76]

Wasn't the scale off-road one that was a much smaller true 1/10 even $300 or more?

That one was smaller but I should have said, no one has ever made this body that perfectly fits the gold standard size of the hobby, ax10/scx10 axles.
