Default 1/8 New Bright is kind of HUGE!

Ever get the feeling you bit off more than you can chew? Anyone know any specific links for stretched and widened CC01s? I think there was a Silverado crew cab one someplace. Making it wider should be relatively easy. The wheelbase will be a monster, though. EDIT: Found it over on Scale Builders Guild. The guy ended up using only the gearbox from the CC01 and fabricating everything else. Looks like I consider using this on my CR01, but an SCX10 or get it on eBay pronto.

That looks like a very detailed body. What are the dimensions? Width, wheelbase?

That body would be more at home on a SCX-10 chassis.

Yeah, They're popular on the SCX platform. Wheelbase is 13" overall width is (out to the wheel flares) is about 9.5". I've been poking around on eBay and they seem to sell for a good dollar. It may end up there.

if you trimmed down those MASSIVELY wide fender flairs i think it would look very very scale with a set of large 1.9s

True. I'm taking the easy way out, however. Selling it off, buying some 1.55 steelies.
