Noobie that found these bodies, need advice

I think only the Touareg is long wheelbase. You could buy any kit then buy a Touareg driveshaft from eBay ($20?). If you bought the Pajero you could probably sell the complete body for $50 or so (?) and still come out ahead...well, except for the cost of the Blackfoot body. If you buy the Extreme new remember to get the clear lens, grille and tailgate trees. I bet RPPHobby.com has all the parts.

Thanks again! Ive been searching google for more info, In one post i saw the toyota landcruiser kit was 10 inches? It looks like it has a bridge, but im not sure if the driveshaft would be long enough. It would be strange that the Touareg kit was the only 10.5. I cant even find those, they must be long gone..

If you run the stock driveshaft on the long wheelbase setup it will pull on the pinion in the diff. I'd recommend getting one of the JunFac carbon steel shafts. I run one after the stock shaft pulled on the diff and caused it to fail rather spectacularly.

You don't need anything as fancy as Junfac though. You can do it with traxxas half shafts and plastic yokes. Here's a picture of one of mine (although I upgraded to metal yokes ($20/pr)
