Jeep Body on RC4WD

[spiderxx]

So upon checking out the new 1.9 Duratrac Tires that are now available, I noticed a different Jeep TJ body. This doesnt look like a New Bright body from years ago.
Can anyone tell me otherwise?

I think I know who you are talking about. He did a CJ7 too I wanted but he stopped making them.

Yikes!!! That's a pretty salty price tag. But sure is a sweet TJ body. Do you have any build threads you can direct me to? Would love to get more of a look at it.

I wonder if the wheel base and other dimensions are the same as the New Bright and Tamiya YJ bodies?

I do remember those CJ7 parts you were able to buy and swap over to the Tamiya YJ body. I remember seeing them on a website and I think over on scale 4x4 as well. I forget the guys name though.

he makes a sweet little samurai. but then again for around 300 bucks it should be, but around half that is just to ship it over here.

Is that the guy from Italy making those CJ 7 bodies?

[madtinner]

Yes. Guissepe makes the parts. You just need a tamiya yj to start with.

I had a heavy item "12lbs" from Italy and by DHL in was under $70. I wonder who they use for shipping seems high.
