I have been looking at this body a lot and I do like it - the gussets bother me but I understand why they used them. I still would have preferred a 2-piece body (you can easily mitigate the sag using properly located fasteners, and more than two). Ultimately I think I'll buy one and its always great to have another Chevy option. | |

I think they are trying to justify the cost because of the detailed parts that come in addition to the Lexan shell - chrome grille, grille backing plate in black, bumpers, light lenses, windshield wipers, mirrors, door handles, near-Tamiya level decal sheets: At least it comes with a lot more than the similarly-priced Traxxas Bronco body! | |

Not certain if it's done for strength or for easier Lexan molding, or both - but it's a sore spot for me on many Lexan bodies. At least on the Proline Sumo it looks almost like rollbar tubing: |

It's done to prevent creasing in the forming process. Without them there will be horrible creases in that area. The material cant shrink so it has to go somewhere. |

Cool looking weathering job, I'm just stuck on the fact that it has the wrong hood style for the grill that they're using. I made mention of this earlier when the first pics of the body showed up in this thread. Those posts got cleaned up ( removed ) for some reason. Maybe someone will make a "correct" '69- '70 or a '71-'72 grill. It's still nice to see some old iron being represented instead of a generic truck-ish shape. |

Okay the "deep bed" isnt very deep but its deeper than mine and at least a skilled fabricator could cut the bed floor out and extend the inner walls with styrene for a true drop bed if they wanted. *okay yeah would it have killed them to do what proline does and make the cab and bed separate. Yeah yeah I know it sags but this is axial I'm sure they could have made some sort of anti-sag... Bed bra? Last edited by Shinchu; 07-13-2018 at 10:47 PM. Reason: Bed bra lolololol |

Still it's badass. And yes, I'll be using the '69 Blazer grille that you can buy separately on the C-10 body. | |

Does this body accept 4.75" tires?

| Re: Axial C10 It would need the body up higher or some trimming beyond the body line for the wheel wells. Here are a couple pics with the traxxas canyon trails, these are 4.65” and wouldn’t clear with compression on either side.

That's what I was afraid of. Thank you. Gorgeous truck! I love it every time I see it. I'm trying to settle in on a body for my Trail King. | |

This body definitely lends itself to a class 0ish build, Could be good for class 1 if you cut a section out of the bed. I just finished up mine on some 96 mm Dirt Grabber clones. | |

On my TK I already have 4.75" tires so I need to find a body to fit those. I'd definitely like to build something for this C10 body though. | |

One issue I had with this body was the rear bumper is way out there, I could not make it work with the HPI Venture without extending the bumper mount | |
