| Best "Big 3" bodies for crawlers
I'm thinking about painting a new body for my TRX4. What are the best "Big 3" bodies out there? Not a fan of Japanese trucks so I don't get into the whole Hilux obsession. Who is running Chevy/Ford/Dodge bodies? How do they look? How do they fit? My TRX4 started as a K5 Blazer, and right away I didn't like how much the tires rubbed the body. I switched to a Pro-line Colorado body which is much narrower, but still had to trim the wheel openings to not rub my Proline Hyrax. Is there any body out there that can sit low without rubbing the tires? The Jconcepts Chevy bodies look cool, but for scale realism I don't know if they have the lines that the Pro-lines do. What is everyone's suggestions? |

You’ve already got one of the best bodies out for the big 3 in the K5 Blazer. Assuming you have 4.75” Hyraxs, those tires are very tall and there aren’t many bodies period that will clear them with no rubbing and still sit low. I have a set of 4.75” Flatirons on a SCX10.1 with the Axial 2012 Jeep Wrangler unlimited and they barely rub that body.

I have the JConcepts F250 body. I'm using the Axial BFG tires which are a little smaller that the typical 4.75 tall tires. Looks perfect for this body with minimal rubbing. Body is set slow so you don't see any frame or sliders. Hopefully this picture works. Last edited by FordSpeed; 08-20-2020 at 01:10 PM. |

Another J concepts body.... Mild trimming and very low, bottom of the body is even with the bottom of the frame rails. 4.75 Pitbull Growlers |
