Default tf2 drivers?

i just got one and am having a bit of trouble picking interior pieces including the driver, who are you guys using? i didnt realize how much smaller the tf was than my bruiser, it seems a 5" figure is about right

Well, it sort of depends on what interior version you are going to use. Bench seat with no floor? Full bruiser interior with floor, or the detailed interior which yields some leg room. Either or, I found most of my figures were too tall from the torso up, meaning I had to murder them and cut them in half

You could always go with the hard plastic, Tamiya bruiser driver, which was specifically designed for the cab's interior. I personally used this guy, who seems to be rather popular with the 1/10 scale crowd as he's very detailed and can be positioned in many dif ways. Notice I have a gap in between the interior assembly and cab, I corrected this by removing some of his torso. This gap no longer exists.

before i got the truck i was planning to use some spare tamiya pieces, but the size difference of the body surprised me. i have since got the dinky set and rc4wd seats, and am going to mix and match parts, probably going to cut down the seats to match the drivers size. i have been poking around the net and the toy depts and still havent found a suitable guy for it. i usually go with hunter dan, but he doesnt have a little brother... haha

I've never had the Bruiser body to compare size so far, so I'm not sure how much bigger it is compared to the Mojave body.

The figure I'm using is Sam Fisher, from the Splinter Cell. He's a 7in. figure, and seems to fit in quite a few rigs I've seen on here. It took me a while to choose the figure I wanted to use as well, I ended up with McFarlane Toys Strange Brew Talking Bob Doug McKenzie Action Figures Beer | eBay

Doug, the character on the right in my D90 body, which he might have been a better fit for the yota.
