Can someone post up some pics of a dovetailed hpi bronco body or a hpi rubi body? If you could also post up how you did it that'd be great too. I need more clearance when my truck flexes out so that's why I'm asking. And I think it looks cool.

thanks

YEH THAT WOULD HELP ME ALSO, i WANT TO DOVETAIL A BRONCO BODY TO MATCH MY 1:1 CRAWLER.

Hey Krawlin, remember, you'll also be removing material, so it'll have a lower CG

. Play along, someone might post a how-to. I would also like to know how to make a dove-bed. If I can do it decently on my basher body, I'll prob. get a Bronco body, and dove the rear and front, like in the MG rockcrawler build. I love those bodystyle Broncos.

the front was wonky enough, I'd like to see pics of the rear, it has me a little nervous (1st dovetail attempt)

thanks bowtie,
do you think it would be possible to bring it in a lot? like leave a 2.5 inch tailgate? or will it not bend that far without really puckering?
