Sure, why not? The body is wide enough to get around the ladder frame, right? Beyond that, it is just down to your own styrene/cutting skills.

I know there are people on this forum who could do that sort of thing without missing a beat, but whether you can do it is something only you can know right now.

As the last poster said you can do anything you want. Stretching the body is the easy part really, its if it is wide enough to fit the track width ? the CR is 1/10th and the lunchbox is 1/12th and alot smaller then most crawler bodies, there was a lunchbox build on here somewhere do a search and have a look at it before you go any futher. The main problem I can see with widening the body will be window and grille but if you have the skills to fab something up then go for it. Would like to see one built to 1/10th scale though would look kool
