Send it to me

What kind of rig is that from? That's not a Tamiya is it?

I would put some TLT axles under it using leaf springs.

Its screaming to be stuck on a Touareg chassis.

Would not be bad on a 1/18 Nylint. I saw a Black foot body set up on a Nylint 1/18 scale Jeep chassis. It made me smile and it crawled sorta OK on a trail run, at least the wheels were under the wheel wells.

this body is only 6 3/4in wide and the 1:18 nylint is 7in wide...

randy thats the toyota body i have on my pajero. I got the same body and my 1/18th nylint came today in the mail. i have to lenghen the wheel base about 2inches and it will work. it will fit the pajero chassis if you move the rear axle about a 1 inch it looks cool but the nylint will like better i thinki. i will post pics of my toyota on the pajero chassis for you to see

thaclodking · 01-15-2006, 02:30 AM

Isn't that body off of an old radio shack car? I swear I remember seeing on of those a looooooong time ago. Should make a nice scaler.

STR8_UP · 01-15-2006, 08:58 AM

i found this body in the trash at my work...i work at an apartment complex so who knows where it came from...

Ok I'll try to get them up tonight. i bought my a a flea market for 5.00 the whole truck and yes it is a radio shack truck there was one on ebay it sold for 60.00 bucks.

Heres pic of yota on pejero chassis

and on a nylint but i have to still lower it down about 1 or 2 inches tires stick out about 1/4 inch

thaclodking · 01-15-2006, 10:01 PM

I think it looks better on the nylint chassis, the rims/tires look very scale. Like you said it needs to be lowered a bit but that shouldn't be too difficult.

madhatter · 01-15-2006, 10:40 PM

I think that body is one of those cheapy radio shack trucks. I got one but its a black body. If you consider that alot of guys put alot wider and heavier diffs under toyotas to rock crawl, it's not that big of a deal if the tires hang out abit or even alot. I found the biggest problem with the truck is it looks too short when you put wider axles under it. I ended up doing a prostreet project out of mine. But I keep kicking around building a comp. style rock buggy out of it.

STR8_UP · 01-16-2006, 11:12 AM

thanx for the pics....

I'm with MadHater, It is a Radio Shack body. I belive "ARTIN" RC make a Yoda body that fits perfect on a rig with a 12" WB.

I like it better on the jero chassis. The nylint just looks too... Kiddish. For a finely detailed body like that? Keep it on the jero. Its like an 1986+ toyota with IFS and a solid rear. Put a small lift on it, swap to some smaller touring car wheels and a larger side walled tire and you're golden.

STR8_UP · 01-16-2006, 08:36 PM

do you know anyone sellin a pajero chassy? no body... i have several TA02 and TL01 chassys but i don't think it will look good that way
