The Axial Cherokee XJ body is nearly a drop on fit to the TRX4 chassis.

Im doing a GMC Topkick/ Chevy Kodiak C4500 using proline's Summit body(now discountiuned) but their is the savage xl one. inspiration Transformers Ironhide

Re: what other bodies have you guys been running?
 

This looks fantastic. I'm not at all a fan of the defender body and this makes me want to order a trx.

Re: what other bodies have you guys been running?
 

Still have to finish the interior but it goes pretty good

Re: what other bodies have you guys been running?
 

Solo that looks pretty good!

sorry.. i don't know how to post pictures

Re: what other bodies have you guys been running?
 

are you using the same links as stock?

Re: what other bodies have you guys been running?
 

So Kodiak body didn't happen going with some other choices that looks less out of place. Thinking first jeep jk unlimited Rubicon or RAM 1500.

Re: what other bodies have you guys been running?
 

Any updates to this thread? Always interested in seeing new ideas. Looking into getting a pre roller or a good deal on a bronco or kit for the wife. She's not into the bronco or defender tho.

Put on a Proline Jeep Rubicon body for the 12.8 wb. I have a Bronco, so I ordered a short to long conversion kit from Traxxas.

Here's how it currently looks with the 12.3 wb.

Re: what other bodies have you guys been running?
 

I love this - looks awesome!

I was hoping to do the same Axial Honcho + Kit - but I heard the inner fenders were part of the shock/body mount on the kit.

Did you have to cut the kit's fenders right back or did you get some new shock towers like the Defender/Tactical?

Re: what other bodies have you guys been running?
 

I bought these shock towers on eBay. They are Treal and were cheap. I just recently replaced them with the Samix shock towers front and rear. The Samix have a stronger panhard mount and look better. I don't have a picture of them installed yet.

Re: what other bodies have you guys been running?
 

I had a set of Hot Racing shock mounts and they worked for awhile. No bashing just riprap crawling and one day the panhard mount just broke off. Most people don't realize how much stress the panhard mount is under.

Re: what other bodies have you guys been running?
 

Thanks for this. My son has a Sport and the Proline body inbound, and was debating on ordering the chassis kit or wait and see. Your pic shows it’s needed (imo).

Re: what other bodies have you guys been running?
 

Thanks for the reply. The Samix gear looks good.

I found some reasonably prices stock Traxxas shock mounts online. I might try them out and upgrade to Samix later on.

I wasn't aware of the stress on the panhard mount - good to know! Hopefully the stock one will be fine for now.

Re: what other bodies have you guys been running?
 

I finished my TRX-4 kit with an Axial Honcho cab and cage. I was able to keep the fenders after some trimming. I only had to take the corners off the front fenders. The back required a notch to let the cage sit low enough.

After I removed the rear body posts, I cut holes for the shock mounts to poke through the tray and replaced the cross brace which is fastened with split pins - I think it worked quite well!

I also had to remove the battery tray and use a short pack in the front battery location.

The body colour is a full can of PS-43 Translucent Orange backed with some PS-41 Bright Silver which gives it a metallic look. I added the black stripes to give some extra detail. The tray is PS-5 Black with PS-55 Flat Clear for a matt finish.

Re: what other bodies have you guys been running?
 

Just finished up fitting and painting this Ford Body. I was going to do a yota body but there's more of those than these and it would have been predictable since I DD a Tacoma. Always liked the old Fords anyways. I Raised the sliders and bumped the wheelbase out to a perfect 13 inches. Flipped rear bumper mount and did a comp cut variation to tuck rear bumper into body. Limited front suspension travel a little which seemed to help with stability while flexing up an obstacle alot. Going to add a small stinger up front and then start working on a battery relocation

You really need a red and blue flashing light for that cop jeep, thats cool and original, nice job "thumbsup"

Re: what other bodies have you guys been running?
 

I'm working on a few ideas for that [emoji6] These proline bodies don't seem nearly as durable as the defender body, so I'm really apprehensive about putting lights on top or creating weak spots by creating holes for the wires.

Our cops here in calgary in the ghost cars ave the flashing r/b lights behind the headlights and tail lights, just an idea..

Re: what other bodies have you guys been running?
 

Here is my take on proline jeep body, I really like it much more with smaller tires. These are class1 4.19 hyrax 36mm wide. I measured the scale of this proline body and it is around 9.1:1 .So those tires would be somethong like 38"x13" on the real stuff.
