I have one of the f350 bodies. I was very happy with the quality, only minor body work needed to fill a couple of pin holes from the mold. I can try and get some pics for you tomorrow. I just finished the build not too long ago. Only down side is the shipping takes forever. It took about two months to get to me in the usa.

Surem would love to see some pics. I wemt another route that im not 100% happy the way it came out. Took 3 Tamiya bodies,body filler,styrene. Drop and squared bed.still only a rolling chassis amd in the pics body is not actually mounted. The bed is mounted separate from the cab though, very first tome ever attempting something of this nature. Thinking about trying thier body, and arb bumpers Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk |

I was going to do the same thing, cut up a couple Tamiya bodies but i got lazy and took the easy route. I took a chance on this body and it turned out pretty nice. Its about 90% done, just a couple details still need to be added. Here are some pics. |

Wheelbase is just a hair over 14inches, I'm using a Tamiya bed, and the tires are rc4wd 1.9 boggers.

Ya it took 3 Tamiya bodies to make the cab. I made the rear doors a little to big. My wheelbase is 14.5".... Tires in the pic are factory scx10ii size 1.9x4.7. debating on getting a 4.19" tall tire. Might look better. I might end uo buying a loops cab Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk |

I have the Unimog body on my C1 Ascender. Quality is really good in my opinion. The only problem is that the body is easy to break as the pillars are rather thin (scale looks, of course they are thin). You want to be careful with the body. Also, the bodies are designed for MST CMX sized cars and therefore the Mog for example would look ridiculous on a TRX-4. Check the measurements from the site before ordering and you should be fine. WIP, stil need to do lots of stuff for the body. It does come with windows, bumbers and such. Shameless Plug: Build thread here Last edited by Joonatin; 06-17-2018 at 12:14 AM. |

I also have the unimog. It’s small because it’s a replica of the Tamiya body with us more 1/12. The quality on their bodies is good though. I’ve used their step-side hilux bed as well and it was pretty much primer ready. Just make sure you prep with denatured alcohol to get the little bit of mold release off.
