Short Course Truck Body on TRX4?

[BigDirtyUnko]

Has anyone fit a short course truck body on a TRX4? I have a 12.8" wheelbase so it should be close enough on length. I'm interested in the Raptor bodies but Proline discontinued their 12.8" Raptor crawler body.


What I'm not sure of is how the vertical clearances on a TRX4 chassis will work out with a SCT body. The main concern here is that the door sills come down far enough to hide the internals when the grill and tailgate of the body is at the correct bumper height.



This one from Proline is the right size at 9.5" wide and 13" wb;

Here's the one from Traxxas that looks really nice but is 11" wide.

You can fit anything on anything in reality, but just because you can doesn’t mean you should. Now the “monster truck” bodies in the 1/8 scale can fit pretty good.

Here's a few pics of my trx4 with a new bright raptor body on it there listed as 6th scale but real scale it 1/8th
The trx4 frame rails are hiding under that body only the cage is sticking out lol
This is just a example of what you can do with some wheel spacers and longer links

That’s actually from one of the Slash’s. It too is from Proline. The last post looks like it didn’t load the picture from one earlier…

Pictures still are not uploading for whatever reason but there is a pic of the 1/8 monster truck sitting tall on the posts. You a get the idea… with some small tweaking I think it fits well.
